Stay Awake.
The best advice for leaders today is simple: stay awake, curious, and open! So much is happening in the world that anyone who assumes everything will remain the same is living dangerously. We are witnessing a paradigm shift, a turning point, a transformation, a revolution—depending on temperament and personality. The bottom line is this: we are heading towards a new normal. Something completely different is about to become standard. Business as usual belongs to the past; it is fading into the mist behind us. We are on uncertain ground; in a somewhat glib way, we speak of how geopolitical tectonic plates are shifting so dramatically these years that we must adapt to entirely new realities.
