DIG DEEPER

ASK YOURSELF

• How might your officer nominations process change to address this need for change-agent, rather than caretaker leadership?
• What preliminary steps are necessary before “breaking” things that don’t seem broken?
• In dealing with the most important (rather than most urgent) issues and changes in your org or business community, persistence is the only way to affect change. What steps can you put in place to sustain focus across years, rather than shifting with each annual work plan?
• Given the resistance to institutional hierarchies among future generations, how can you be more intentional about building networked leadership across a broader group of leaders in allied entities?
• How can you get beyond issue-specific government relations and nurture shared views of the future between public and private sectors?
