The Disruption Vaccine: Leadership for Uncertain Times
In a world where change accelerates daily, Tom Ziglar offers a refreshing perspective on leadership. The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated how quickly our work environments can transform-and surprisingly, many organizations discovered increased productivity as remote work eliminated commutes and rigid schedules. This massive disruption is just one example of the accelerating pace of change reshaping our world. From flying cars with AI pilots to healthcare delivered by drones, the future arriving on our doorstep demands a new leadership approach. The wisdom of Zig Ziglar remains relevant: "It's not what happens to you that determines how far you will go in life; it is how you handle what happens to you." During disruption, we always face a choice-fold up or rise up to create something better. The answer lies in ten leadership virtues that enable what Tom calls "Coach Leaders" to thrive during uncertainty by building bridges between people's pain and the organization's vision. These virtues form a "corrosion-proof" connection that grows stronger, not weaker, during times of challenge.
