Foresight

Leaders, face new issues and challenges with confidence!

In this time of rapid social and technological change "FORESIGHT" is a critical leadership characteristic. Vision helps leaders plan for the future, but foresight enables them to deal with inevitable future changes. Foresight can be developed through critical thinking, questioning biases and assumptions, looking from the outside in, and proactive, intentional anticipation. "FORESIGHT-LEADERSHIP LESSONS FOR THE 21st CENTURY" shares lessons and insights- some classical and some cutting edge- on this critical yet undervalued trait of effective leadership.

FORESIGHT highlights concepts, theories, cases, and examples derived from the social and behavioral sciences and applies them to leadership qualities required in modern times. It is designed for current and aspiring leaders from all walks of life- business, the military, first responders, and other service-oriented volunteers and workers. It is written for front-line supervisors, middle managers, executives, and students of leadership and management. Ultimately, the book is designed to help YOU make a difference in YOUR organization as an effective, forward-thinking leader.
