Where do their visions come from? And by what alchemy, besides sheer force of intellect, personality, and determination, do they bring them to life? As Mark Johnson sees it, they are simply people who have figured out how to develop actionable views of their organizations’ best possible futures. “Thinking from the Future Back,” as Johnson calls it in his new book Lead from the Future, is a critical executive skill, though one that is sorely neglected in traditional management doctrine. But this is a mistake, says Johnson. Not only can this skill be taught and learned, it can be wielded again and again in a risk-mitigated way. In this presentation, Johnson shares a three- phase model for vision development and strategic implementation that allows any leader to create and manage breakthrough growth.
