8. Introduction
Leaders must now thrive and survive in a world of volatility and
change. Future proof leadership is about facing and preparing for the
future.
How are you responding to a competitive and economic environment
unlike anything that has come before?
To find out, I held face-to-face interviews with over 100 managers
around the world. These conversations offer valuable insight into the
agendas and actions of what I call future proof leaders.

9. What is future proof leadership?
Future proof leaders are comfortable with ambiguity and experiment
to create new business models.
They invite disruptive innovation, encourage others to drop outdated
approaches and take balanced risks.
They are open-minded and inventive in expanding their management
and communication styles, in order to engage with a new generation
of talent, partners and customers.
