The Collaboration Era“
“Perhaps for the first time in history, humankind has the capacity to create more information than anyone can
absorb, to foster greater interdependency than anyone can manage, and to accelerate change faster than anyone’s
ability to keep pace”

The changes required are not so obvious...
. These changes are especially hard to anticipate if you have
already reached your “comfort zone”, and you
believe that management is just a tool for managing the
“statu quo”.

What will be their impact on my products and services
competitiveness? How does all this affect me
personally? How will these changes affect my
future employability?

problem that no longer is relevant to the organization.

Interact with the new reality
What is key is not access to the information, but access to the
conversations, taking active part in them.
These are the conversations that will allow us to develop new capabilities as
leaders, to anticipate the future needs of our customers and to atract the new
digital talent required by our organizations.
Leadership = Conversations

Focus on execution“The missing link between
aspirations -what the leaders of the company want to achieve- and results: the organization's
ability to achieve it.”“The discipline of aligning persons
with goals in order to achieve planned results”

Avoid “passion killers”
Surround yourself with happy people, passionate about life and their job.
Search for good “students”: inquisitive people; people willing to
learn.. You 'd better choose an average
profesional but “passionate about his job” rather than a frustrated and
unhappy “guru”.
