As #CEO, you have to learn, for example, what’s happening to people who are now unable to come to work because of #COVID19. You’ve got to think about everything—from how teams work to why people want to work. Denise Ramos of @ITT did just that. mck.co/3CIYdXD #TheEdge

We have to look carefully at our #leaders. What is the #leadership we’re going to need in the years ahead? I propose some in #ThEdge. These don’t replace traditional qualities, but are really helping to define a new era in #business. @McKinsey @NGPCapital mck.co/3yGJpq1

Seeing his markets imploding, splitting, or consolidating, #CEO Ed Breen faced one crisis after another, but he confronted each, triaging his firm, dividing and recombining the enterprise, and confronting a viral threat. #EdgeTheBook mikeuseem.com

I conclude #TheEdge with #GeorgeWashington, who was not known for his #business experience but for creating the country. He never attended the military academy, instead only completing 4th or 5th grade. The point is that #leadership is learnable. @McKinsey mck.co/3CpKqVY

Confronting an economic meltdown, @Vanguard #CEO Bill McNabb and his team concluded that the best strategy for client retention began with employee preservation. This paved the way for bringing Vanguard back from the brink. #EdgeTheBook mikeuseem.com

The threat of executive obsolescence is not unknown to people in #leadership positions. A survey found that employees self-reported that theirs had risen 20% each year. The inescapable conclusion: to stay relevant as a #leader, you need to stay on #TheEdge mikeuseem.com

#TheEdge is that place or point or period where your past skills are still serving you, but you need to bring new skills on line as well. Thank you, @proframcharan, for recognizing the need to breach this divide. Learn more at TheEdgeBook.com

Beyond their firms’ market value, how should leaders be judged at a time of #BLM, #MeToo, extreme poverty, growing inequity, a killer pandemic,& climate change? In other words, by what millions of people want, not just what investors demand? #TheEdge TheEdgeBook.com

Leaders must create an environment in which employees “bring their whole selves” to work. They are more likely to do this if their leader does. Learn how to do this in #TheEdge, available now at TheEdgeBook.com

You may have come to management in an era w/out COVID-19; protest movements for diversity, inclusion, & #BLM; calls for greater investment in communities, climate change & extreme inequality. This is an entirely new era for leadership. #TheEdge TheEdgeBook.com

It became apparent to me that the defining qualities of #business #leadership in the 1990s would not be the same as the 2000s or 2010s or the 2020s. **INTRODUCING** #TheEdge, a book that reenvisions this new style of leadership, available NOW at mikeuseem.com
