No business as usual

In light of the myriad of crises that the world faces today, in particular the battle against the
COVID-19 outbreak, the rules for success and failure are being rewritten. There is definitely no
‘business as usual’ anymore. This is true in every nation, industry and every market. In this
environment, the task of the leader must change. An applied mindset that cultivates future￾conscious thinking and behaviour is required. What legacy will we leave as ancestors to the future
generation? Critical and trans-generational thinking on this path can help us as individuals,
organizations, and society as a whole to counter our instinct for short-termism, build more
hopeful visions of the future, and turn those visions into action.

Promote disruptive thinking
The mindsets of the youth today should be seen as a major disruptor beyond the business
environment, above digitalisation and rapid technological advancements. We are not just living
a time of turbulent change – we are actually experiencing an era shift in history. The best leaders
today are those people who know what to do when nobody knows what to do, and are able to
navigate confidently through uncertainty and paradox. As a collective, we can become great
ancestors together through futures thinking, transgenerational empathy, and visions of all
people flourishing.
