NEW RULES FOR THE FUTURE OF LEADERSHIP

How the bold and driven can elevate engagement, win the war for talent and create a culture of belonging

In the wake of the unprecedented challenges of 2020, issues such as mental health, purpose, and human disconnection took center stage. The subsequent Great Resignation in 2021 revealed that conventional solutions like ping-pong tables and pay increases were insufficient for addressing long-term organizational problems. Today, as the rise of AI, the phenomenon of Quiet Quitting, and the looming recession dominate discussions, leaders are faced with the imperative to adapt.

Covid-19 fundamentally altered how we work, our relationship with work, and the expectations placed on leaders across diverse industries. In this evolving business landscape, senior leaders, emerging leaders, and those without formal titles must cultivate internal skills to navigate the new era of business.

The New Rules for the Future of Leadership offers readers a wealth of insights drawn from Mike’s experiences in the NBA, examples of innovative companies, and his personal journey through adversity. Through a blend of impactful stories, strategic frameworks, and transformative mindsets, the book serves as a guide for leaders seeking to thrive in the dynamic world of work.

Mike has shared these principles through compelling keynotes, interactive workshops, and personalized coaching sessions, engaging with individuals from Fortune 500 companies and prominent industry associations. Among the organizations benefitting from his expertise are IBM, AmFam, Cisco, Morgan Stanley, and SHRM.

By integrating these leadership competencies with cutting-edge research on the future of work, readers can position themselves to inspire, impact, and influence not only their teams and organizations but potentially the world at large. This book is an indispensable resource for leaders aiming to navigate the complexities of the modern business landscape with resilience and success.
