With so much turbulence and uncertainty, there is no better time to remake yourself into a better leader than now.

Many leaders still hold on to the increasingly outdated habit and idea that, above all else, work is the most important thing — that they and their team members should sacrifice their time, energy, and well-being to deliver on the organization’s goals. 

Most of us are intrigued by the idea of innovation, which is the art of thinking, listening and learning through experimentation. But most of us have no formal training in it. Odds are, you also didn’t learn how to embrace mistakes as “opportunities to learn.” 

Minds, like parachutes, work best when they are open.  And this is even more true today in the era of learning and unlearning about racism, sexism, diversity, and inclusion, not to mention our ever-expanding global marketplace.  Leaders are being pressed to challenge most things they have been so sure about.
