Interview

The Future

Rishad identifies 6 future forces: multi-polar globalization, demographics shift, 3rd connected age (AI, VR, Cloud), tech-led democratization, climate change, and post-Covid changes.

Change Management

“Change sucks, but irrelevance is worse.” Strategy must be paired with communication, training, and personal growth messaging.

Modern Leadership

Great leaders must be competent, time-aware, show integrity, be empathetic, vulnerable, and inspirational.

Purposeful Growth

Balance tech and talent. People desire growth, freedom, identity. Leaders must change mindsets to stay relevant.

The Great Resignation

35-50% attrition, gig economy is the future. Cloud, plug-and-play models are vital for retention and scale.

Restoring The Soul of Business

Balance between data and story. Rishad’s book emphasizes integrating humanity with decision making.

Q&A

We’ve reached the peak of Web 2.0. Web 3.0's decentralized, open system is the new future.

Yes. Poetry over plumbing will define the next era of business and communication.

Creativity = connecting unexpected dots. Push teams to explore beyond routine, include opposing views, and experiment freely.
