The Five Leadership Superpowers™

Essential Capabilities to Thrive in a Dynamic, Disruptive, and Uncertain World

What do Apollo 13, US 1549, Covid-19, and Evergreen all have in common?

Each of these presented leader(s) with a very disruptive set of circumstances, that were unexpected, previously unseen, and that resulted in other systemic disruptions and significant uncertainty. Past experience, existing knowledge, and core/traditional leadership skills were not enough to meet these challenges nor are they sufficient to address future disruptions and uncertainty we do and will face. New leadership capabilities were and are required to survive and thrive. The Five Leadership Superpowers™ addressed and will address this very need.

Participants will learn:

  • Why new leadership capabilities are needed for incumbent and future leaders.
  • What each of the Superpowers is and how to apply them in practice.
  • How the Superpowers help leaders, and their organizations, See, Think, and Do Differently and Faster.
