New leaders on the way!

I was honored to give the commencement speech at the Berlin School of Creative Leadership Executive MBA graduation.

The spirit of the graduates renews my faith in leadership and the future of organizations.

The graduates I saw and heard will certainly be leaders in organizations that are very different from the ones most of us know today. This is a quick note showing three “shapes” of organizations in the future: Shamrock, Haier-Rendanheyi and the IceHotel — all evocative of the gig mindset.

One graduate asked me “Are creative leaders gig mindsetters?” My answer? “Definitely yes!.”
