The attached story of the challenges facing my alma mater and the world inspired me to write this leadership post.
In the early 2000s, I coined the term to describe the leadership mentality needed to influence breakthrough performance and extraordinary results for the disruptive transformation that would be the hallmark in the 21st century. Thus the Strategic Hustler was introduced.
From Morehouuse to United Arab Emirates to Africa to mainland China and all points in between I have lectured determined to educate, enlighten, inspire, and empower hundreds of thousands on what it takes to become this innovative multidimensional/multijurisdictional leader.
The lectures embrace innovation in a VUCA world where human beings confront a daunting array of problems that demand new solutions. Digital disruptions, climate changes, global pandemics, failed states, narco-crimes, terrorism, nuclear proliferation, environmental degradation--meeting these challenges will require inventing new innovative systems. Said another way, we must solve problems that are multidimentional and multijuristical.
So as you begin to embrace the new world order, solving problems like those mentioned above...."Look to improve the status quo." Have the courage to create a new normal.
You will be on your way to becoming a 21st century Strategic Hustler.
