"Your biggest mistake is believing that you don't need to do it right now" - Futurist Jim Carroll What does it mean if you have a great idea, and your superior blows it off by saying "we don't need to do that right now." It means you are in pretty big trouble. Why does this happen? Straight to the point - it's because of these failures in leadership: they don't know what's next they don't want to know what's next they refuse to accept what's next they don't believe the imminence of what's next they don't think there is any hurry to deal with what's next their arrogance blinds them as to what's next they are in a state of denial as to the scope of what's next they are wrong about the speed of disruptive change with what's next their age gives them a poor filter to understand what's next. they underestimate the impact of emerging technologies with what comes next they fail to invest in innovation and research and never get ready for what's next they rely too heavily on outdated business models, not accepting that entirely new ones come next they don't engage in strategic foresight or scenario planning and never understand what comes next All of this means that they - and you - fail. Tell me if you disagree. You can't! With this type of mindset, many organizations have failure ingrained at the top!
