How Technology and Complexity Is Shaping How We All Must Lead
summary
Argues leadership must shift from command to practical experiments: a software company started at age 12 shows entrepreneurial roots, one organization elects its leader yearly and lets people “vote with their feet,” and a five‑hour social media example shows the future being built now. Recommends concrete tools—design norms, shared accountability, sleep and energy habits, writing expectations, and prototyping movements—and claims these produce change, require collective imagination, and center belonging.
