“The Badlands” is Mary’s metaphor for the challenging transition from the end of the Industrial Era to the full promise of the Information Age.
We are now about to enter the last half of the Badlands at the full bloom of the “age of acceleration’ when everything goes faster and many humans cannot adapt. It is volatile and challenging — a time to be smartly bold, innovate and take risks. The rewards are great for those who are not faint of heart.
Mary also offers a customized Leadership & Strategy keynote highlighting the disruptions and trends most relevant to your organization, and what to do about them.
Selected Key Concepts:
- 8 principles to lead to 2030
- Managing yourself in conditions of high risk and uncertainty
- Leadership challenges, personal characteristics, and competencies
- Mastery of the art of scan, scout, and steer.
