SUMMER BONUS: Shift Happens
Manage episode 431405174 series 3266527
Welcome to a special Remarkable Retail podcast summer series focused on what leaders need to do to help their organizations win the future and leap to higher ground. In this six-part limited series, Steve is unpacking key lessons from his new best-selling book Leaders Leap: Transforming Your Company at the Speed of Disruption, available everywhere books are sold.
Having spent most of his career working in either senior leadership positions at a corporation or as a strategic advisor, where he was focused on driving growth & innovation, Steve has had a front- row seat to the seismic shifts that have reshaped the retail landscape. It’s hard to overestimate the disruptive power game-changing technology has had on just about every aspect of our culture and commerce.
Our world today looks very different than it did when e-commerce first emerged, when smart devices started to transform how we communicate, or when pervasive connectedness and operating in the cloud began their inexorable march toward ubiquity.
These shifts have allowed for entirely new and incredibly valuable business models to emerge. These shifts have also brought many iconic brands to their knees or set them on a path to seemingly endless struggle.
So it’s worth asking “If the world has changed so much, why have so many leaders changed so little.”
Indeed, shift happens. And it’s happening faster and faster all the time.
The challenge is not to figure out how to mount resistance but to accept the things you cannot change, get intensely focused on the things you can, and then get to work.
- Shift happens. Get used to it.
- Shift happens. Shake hands with the new weird.
- Shift happens. Don’t let it destroy your future.
- Shift happens. Summon up all the courage you require.
- Shift happens. Get ready to leap.
This 6-part summer series explores why we must choose remarkable or risk irrelevance. We will go deep on unpacking the root causes that lead to an overly timid transformation. We will delve into what is required to lead in the face of relentless, unyielding disruption.
Season 9 of the Remarkable Retail podcast returns on September 10th in its usual format. Follow us wherever you enjoy your podcasts, and don’t forget to give us a 5-star review.
