Covering everything from how to build a new type of leadership trust when other spheres of public power have been overturned, to robots overtaking companies and worldwide indebtedness affecting business, this book explains not only why the old rules no longer apply, but also how to blaze a trail in this new world order and be the best leader you can be.

The Leadership Lab includes exclusive interviews with top executives grappling with the new world order and discusses what key global trends keep them awake at night and how they respond to them. It is a must-read for aspiring leaders and C-level executives seeking to develop a real intuition when it comes to dealing with the global currents disrupting business and how to build an empathetic, credible, stable and strong leadership path.

Leadership Lab
By Chris Lewis and Pippa Malmgren

3 stars

The book provides and attempts to answer a range of issues that leaders face or must consider. While I found that it does promote thoughts and discussion, it does not answer a lot of questions. The thoughts it does provoke, some of which are quite deep, are worth considering.

My first question though is who is the intended audience? Is it corporate leaders, policy makers, or someone else?

The book outlines comprehensively the influences on leaders, organisations and individuals/ staff of government policies including economic. It highlights the information overload due to technologies that leaders face, along with lessons that leaders to work through as they develop patience in followers.

Other issues that are addressed include the importance of leaders engaging in intelligence; accessing people more intelligent than themselves; Being aware of different forms of intelligence; Leaders need to be aware of and active in politics, locally, nationally and internationally.; and the role that leaders play in the political arena.

Lessons include how Information and data is used and analysed as tools for leaders; How leaders consider how technology is affecting people socially, and time wise; and the effect of technology on relationships.

The authors promote the use of tech currencies such as bitcoin. Arguing that they counter inflation and are more reliable.

Overall an accepted book on considerations that leaders must face.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing a review copy in return for an honest review. All opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

Leadership in the 21st century has its twists and turns especially as it's the generation with a lot of distractions.

In this book, the authors explain how to hone in leadership skills in a fast changing world. It shows how the world has now set new expectations for leaders and how leaders need to be constantly evolving.

It is a well researched book that provokes questions and new ways of thinking. You will not find answers to leadership in this book as it is written to elicit debates about different aspects of leadership.

I enjoyed this book, as a student of Leadership. This book provides a great set of interviews about the changes in the "new world" of the 21st Century leaders when thinking about the current cultural trends and how to build a road-map to lead well right where you are.
