power of why

Life is going at such a blurring pace that it often makes everything around us seem fuzzy and out of focus.  Have you ever had that feeling?  As we travel around the country and globe working with clients in widely diverse industries and settings, this blur seems to be almost universally prevalent.  It is particularly profound in situations where the VUCA world has been especially disruptive, or where the leadership strength is noticeably lacking ... it is usually a combination of both conditions.

His bestselling book and presentation at the TED productions called "How Great Leaders Inspire Others" is now the 19th most watched TED video ever!
