Thrive in the Era of rapidly Emerging Technologies
History will remember our generation as agents of change. In this moment, we have the power to shape a positive legacy by harnessing the lessons of the past and committing to a better future. In a world where technology is everywhere, today’s leaders wield a power to influence and create a world where trust, equity, and sustainability are foundational.
Transformations and disruptions are a constant for every organization in this era of rapidly emerging technologies. Now, more than ever, leadership is about how you handle change. How, then, do we create a new leadership model that equips us to be successful in our organizations and in society? We call it Zero-Latency Leadership.
In this book, senior executive Beena Ammanath will guide leaders along a path of technical literacy while embracing equity, sustainability, and trust as core tenets. Together, we will appraise several emerging technologies and opportunity costs and potential consequences of both rushing and delaying adoption. Weighing the complexity of both the innovations and their application in real-to-life business circumstances, we will greet the rapid evolution of technology with confidence and lead our organizations and future generations to lasting success.
