Leadership In A Social Era: Notes From #Pivotcon
| Welcome to the Postnormal | Leadership In The Time Of Followership | The 3D Workforce: Distributed, Decentralized, and Discontinuous |
I thought I’d share my comments kicking off the discussion with Paul Greenberg this morning at the Pivot Conference. We were talking about Leadership In A Social Era. There was a great handoff when Brian Solis said that he, the conference producer and MC, wasn’t the ‘guy in a black turtleneck and blue jeans’, so I could walk in and say ‘Here I am: the guy in a black turtleneck and blue jeans.’

Today I want to start this discussion with Paul Greenberg by focusing on three challenges for leadership. I think these form a power law: the first is twice as large/critical/difficult as the second, and the second is twice as large as the third. So I am going to take 2 minutes for the first, one minute for the second, and 30 seconds for the third.

We’re no longer living in the old economy, based on industrial-era principles. That’s over. We’ve crossed into the Postnormal, and most leaders are either unaware of that transition, or are seeing only disconnected parts of it.
