Good theories enable leaders to make decisions in the absence of data.

Top-line growth is a difficult choice, but it is a choice.

“Look for growth

opportunities at the bottom of the market.”

“Ask the question:

‘What job did you hire that

product for?’”

“No one has ever beaten disruption by

simply doing what they do better.”

“Explore whether we are

overshooting our customers.”

“Top line growth is the key driver of

value creation.”

“Distributed top-line growth speed.”

“Foil inertia!”

“Revenue growth is the key

driver of long-term Total

Shareholder Return.”

“Choice of ‘where to play’ is crucial—2/3rd of

growth comes from market momentum.”

“Revenue is the greatest predictor of future success.”

“Focus on growth and

what your growth drivers

will be.”

“Two-thirds of growth comes

through focus on specific segments.”

Building and scaling requires system-level work driven by senior leaders.

“Importance of the leadership operating model

– vision and clarity.”

“Transform your existing business—as well as the

new.”

“It’s all about the team: Biogen

CEO changed 80% of leadership in

first year.”“Time

for leadership to shape their

company’s future in a sustainable

way.”

“Build the capabilities lane between horizon

A & B – that’s the magic.”

“Need to get leadership on the same page

about future direction and how we succeed.”

“Carve out time to focus on the future strategy & innovation

(i.e thinking Thursdays).”

“If you want to drive

transformational growth, focus

on curve benders.”

“Embed ‘Future Back’ thinking into

the company’s routine.”

“Spend time on the ‘right.’”

“Beware of the tyranny of the

urgent.”

More explore, envision, and discover, less operate and execute.

Don’t let the leader make the decision – let the experiment make it!

“Never punish some from trying

something and failing – learn

from it.”

“Be clear on objectives, but flexible on

execution.”

“Fail quickly, learn from it

quickly.”

“Our brains are wired for stories—if

we don’t hear them, we will make

them up.”

“People want a higher purpose.”

“Create a norm of debriefing /after-action learnings — quarterly or following major events.”

New leadership literacies are required to thrive in tomorrow’s scramble.

“Communication of strategy must be clear, consistent,

and constant.”

“Agility to deal with

disruption and a more distributed

model.”

“Everything that can be distributed will be distributed.”

“Implementing new ways of

thinking and doing required leaders to do it themselves.”
