Moving Forward - What is your role as a leader? FORESIGHT A plausible internally consistent view of the future INSIGHT An “Aha” moment that provokes action ACTION A clear, compelling way forward that can help you get there early and win. F-I-A Process

Moving Forward – How will our Leadership Focus change? Current Literacy Future Literacy Leaders focus on the present first, then think out gradually as far as they can toward the future. How can I look ten years ahead when I can’t even make sense of the present? Leaders who express certainty are viewed as strong leaders. The best leaders will jump ten or more years ahead and then work backward from the future. Long-term forecasting is easier than short-term – leaders will have to look long to make sense of the VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous) world. Certainty will be suspect, but the best leaders will have clarity.

What’s your attitude? It’s your choice!
