New research: Leading in Perpetual Liminality
• Embrace Liminal Leadership: To be successful, organisations need leaders who can navigate the threshold between the past and the future, guiding others through the process of perpetual uncertainity.
• Cultivate Future-Ready Competencies: navigating uncertainty requires moving beyond traditional structures to develop genuine human competencies like imagination, curiosity, openness, and consilience, essential for an unpredictable future.
• Drive sustainable Innovation: When you combine liminal leadership with a strategic learning mindset, innovation follows naturally, especially as these pillars converge with the possibilities of AI.
