My plan for the day

•Some fundamental elements of leadership

•Some fundamental trends in social media - technology and people

•Some fundamental trends in business

Ledarskap handlar om att etablera relationer som skapar lust, vilja och riktning. Framgångsrikt företagande kräver förmågan att organisera, koordinera, och administrera. Relationer formas genom kommunikation. Just nu utvecklas en kommunikationslösning som erbjuder helt nya möjligheter för att etablera relationer. Det kommer med nödvändighet att ändra hur vi ser på organisation och ledarskap. Några tycks tro att denna utveckling kan hanteras på samma sätt som vi har hanterat den hisnande teknologiska utveckling vi redan upplevt – från telefon till mobiltelefon till smartphone. Det tror inte jag! De möjligheter s k nya social medier erbjuder kommer att leda till ett paradigmskifte – ganska snart. Hur och varför tänkte jag berätta mera om. Vilka konsekvenser det kan tänkas få för ledarskap tänkte jag vi kunde utforska tillsammans.

...problems are interconnected;

they cross-organizational and jurisdictional boundaries, and they are inter-organizational. No single agency, organization, jurisdiction, or sector has enough authority, influence, or resources to dictate visionary solutions.Some problems are interconnected; they cross organizational and jurisdictional boundaries, and they are inter-organizational.

Most good ideas came from people who were bridging ”structural holes”, which is

to say people whose immediate social

network included employees outside their department….

Successful leadership in an integrated world has the difficult challenge of solving complex, boundariless problems in highly interconnected political and interorganizational contexts in which authority is shared and power is fragmented. Such leadership is essentially

nonhierarchical and occurs outside organizational boundaries.

Inspired from Jeffrey S. Luke, Catalytic Leadership 1998

The solutions meant to meet the requirements of tomorrow is unfortunately often meet by the criteria of yesterday. What got the job done will not get the job done.

”If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got!”

Things we do a lot of in 2020 are things we do today, but we do more, more often, with more people, in more situations, for more purposes,
