Johnson and Suskewicz have raised a battle cry for the kind of leadership we need in these uncertain times. -- Sandi Peterson,Member,Board of Directors,Microsoft

We all know a visionary leader when we see one. They re bold and prophetic and at the same time pragmatic. They don t just promote change—they drive it, while inspiring and mobilizing others to do the same. Visionaries like Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos possess a host of innate qualities that make them extraordinary, but what truly sets them apart is their ability to turn vision into action.

In Lead from the Future ,Innosight s Mark W. Johnson and Josh Suskewicz introduce a new way of thinking and managing, called future-back, that enables any manager to become a practical visionary. Addressing the many barriers to change that exist in established organizations, they present a systematic approach to overcoming them that includes:

The principles and mind-set that allow leadership teams to look beyond typical short-term planning horizons

A method for turning emerging challenges into the growth opportunities that can define an organization s future

A step-by-step approach for translating a vision into a strategic plan that teams can align around and commit to

Ways to ensure that visionary thinking becomes a repeatable organizational capability

As practical as it is inspiring, Lead from the Future is the guide you and your team need to develop a vision and translate it into transformative growth.
