2. A new kind of economy?
“Part of that struggle is that there’s no vision for what’s emerging. It’s not just that the old world doesn’t work anymore, it’s also that the old story that gave it meaning isn’t believable and there’s no credible story to replace it.”
3. Get in there & do stuff!
“…progress almost never comes from an accident or natural evolution. It requires constant pressure, new ideas and sustained engagement…”

Description Examples
Leaders look for new ways to apply their resourcesand expertise. They focus on solving important community problems.
- IBM & volunteerism as leadership development, retention, innovation strategy
- Public leaders working on regional economies- Children of inmates & Miss America
Leaders collaborate with partners creatively, usinginformal networks alongside traditional hierarchies.
- “Ask the intern”- Apollo 13- Collective Impact models
Leaders share the role of leadership with staff, partners, and the public. They use social technologiesto listen, inform, and collaborate.
- Working out loud- Code for America- Mesh, share economy platforms
Leaders know their industry needs new ideas, and new ideas need testing.
Leaders find ways their unique contributions can make a real difference in their communities. Those who add value remain relevant.
Leaders build skills and share knowledge in orderto develop new leaders in their fields and in their communities.
- Community/Issue Labs- Prototyping, piloting, scaling, risk mgmt- Big data + constant iteration
- “How can I help?”- “What can we do together that we can’t
do alone?- Measuring impact, always
- Embrace multigenerational workplace..and boardroom
- Not everyone under 30 is “techie,” but young people have much to offer
