“Top Management Books of 2021” – Chartered Management Institute

“Winner Best Management & Leadership Book” – American Book Fest

The world has changed more in the past 10 months than it has in the past ten years. We know that what worked in the past will not work in the future. If 2020 has taught us anything it’s that you need to be a future-ready leader. But how?

Based on exclusive interviews with over 140 of the world’s top CEOs and a survey of nearly 14,000 people. The Future Leader uncovers the 9 most crucial skills and mindsets for leading in the future of work.  

There has been a lot written about leadership for the present day, but the world is changing quickly. What worked in the past won’t work in the future. We need to know how to prepare leaders who can successfully navigate and guide us through the next decade and beyond. How is leadership changing, and why? How ready are leaders today for these changes? What should leaders do now? To answer these questions, Jacob interviewed over 140 CEOs from companies like Unilever, Mastercard, Best Buy, Oracle, Verizon, Kaiser, KPMG, Intercontinental Hotels Group, Yum! Brands, Saint-Gobain, Dominos, Philip Morris International, and over a hundred others. Jacob also partnered with Linkedin to survey almost 14,000 of their members around the globe to see how CEO insights align with employee perspectives
The majority of the world’s top business leaders that Jacob interviewed believe that while some core aspects of leadership will remain the same, such as creating a vision and executing on strategy, leaders of the future will need a new arsenal of skills and mindsets to succeed.
What emerged from all of this research is the most accurate groundbreaking book on the future of leadership, which shares exclusive insights from the world’s top CEOs and never before seen research. After reading it, you will: 
·       Learn the greatest trends impacting the future of leadership and their implications
·       Understand the top skills and mindsets that leaders of the future will need to possess and how to learn them
·       Change your perception of who a leader is and what leadership means
·       Tackle the greatest challenges that leaders of the future will face
·       See the gap that exists between what CEOs identified versus what employees are actually experiencing
·       Become a future-ready leader
 
This is the book that you, your team, and your organization must to read in order to lead in the future of work. 

Review

“Jacob Morgan’s book offers a compelling look into the future of leadership–the challenges leaders will face and the mindsets and skills that will be needed to overcome them. Do you want to be a future ready leader? You need this book!”

Horst Schulze, Founder and CEO, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company

“This book is different from mainstream leadership books because it is based upon global macroeconomics of life at work. It has real content. The practice of management quit working 30 years ago. This book makes a rare, badly needed, grand contribution to leadership, teams and human development.”

Jim Clifton Chairman and CEO Gallup

“Jacob’s book answers the most pressing questions on the future of leadership. Based on impressive research, this is the guidebook for the next generation of leaders around the world.”

Paul Polman, Co-founder and Chair, IMAGINE and former CEO, Unilever

“I applaud Jacob in assembling such a powerful and inclusive collection of voices for leaders around the world to learn from. Whether you’re a current or future leader, this book is one that you should read and keep near you.”

Ajay Banga, CEO, Mastercard 

Being a leader is a tremendous honor and responsibility, you owe it yourself and to your people to become the best possible leader you can be. You can start by reading this book and putting into practice the ideas that are explored in it. A valuable read!
