I will define what our values are and will show you to the promised land. The new definition is all about empowerment and grassroots leadership. But at the same time, those leaders have to realize that they can't micromanage in this very fast-paced environment. So on the one hand, speed demands certainty more than a slow pace of change does. But at the same time, the people running these organizations should be building the values of the organization from the bottom up and should be continually reinventing these values as well.
Leadership is all about defining a structure and contract that everybody's comfortable with.
Once there are rules to the game, people can do what the want as long as they're playing by those rules. There's no more strategy. Strategy is about hustling because the pace of change that we're talking about requires continual adaptation. Leadership today also demands emotional intelligence. A leader must understand employees' needs from the top of the hierarchy all the way through to the bottom levels of the organization.
