Description
This book is about changing the world, being a rebel and having a go. It's about how we recognise the need for shifts and summon the courage to make those changes, starting at the smallest level and eventually revolutionising the very way we lead our teams, our companies and our world. I've often had people, in work and in life, tell me it seemed I was trying to change the world. I would get ahead of them and, sometimes, myself with wild ideas, and they'd encourage me to slow down, break it down so they could understand where my brain was headed. This would frustrate me when I was younger, but not so much now. Now I'm proud to think big -- and changing the world seems a great place to start. Hence the title for this book.As one of Australia's leading female technologists, I've spent my career looking to the future. I've helped more than 40 companies adjust to the information revolution of the last 20 years. I've supported business leaders looking for ways to survive the turmoil of the digital age and position their companies for growth and prosperity, with an ever-watchful eye toward what's next. Along the way, I've learned a little something about leadership, about what society needs to achieve to be, not only successful, but sustainable. It's clear to me now, as reports about climate change, geopolitical turmoil and global pandemic fill our daily news feeds, that the future is no longer a given. Change at all levels must happen to ensure we even have a tomorrow, let alone the bright one we have the potential to create if we combine good leadership with the amazing technologies in development right now. It's my hope that the insights I provide here, based on my personal experiences and many years working in the field, will help prepare and inspire you to face the challenges the present demands. Now more than ever, we need to lead radically, think differently and bring together diverse teams of people with a range of personalities and perspectives to make real change. Let this book guide you in thinking about the world today and the world we could create tomorrow -- one unlike anything we've known before, where humans and technology become even more closely entwined and a new type of leader answers the call.
