Managers The Day After Tomorrow

In today's economy, everything has changed. In order to survive, managers and organisational leaders will have to address the need to connect to the largest possible audience without losing touch with the individual. But how does this work? How can managers look ahead? How can they imagine how their company will be doing in thirty years from now, and do so in an environment where predictions have become all but impossible, and then at the same time successfully imprint their vision into a strategy for the next three months from now? What makes today's customers tick? Why does everything have to be easy, fast, fun and simple? Why is data the new gold, and why is AI a blessing? The answer is plain. To keep evolving, leaders should be inspired by the outside world. They should have the guts to read the signals all around them. They should meet the needs of their customers and, above all, they should focus on every possibility. In short, they should never stop experimenting.

Leadership and the E5 Movement CRACK THE CODE OF GAME-CHANGING LEADERSHIP From a young backpacker sleeping on a park bench in Japan to becoming a senior leader of one of the biggest corporate giants in the world, Paul Dupuis has built a career through game-changing leadership—crafted through his own experiences as an athlete, volunteer and CEO. The E5 formula discussed in The Rule of 5 is both familiar and fresh. It’s a leadership model built in the spirit of ‘standing on the shoulders of giants’, learning from leaders like Konosuke Matsushita, the founder of Panasonic, who put ‘empathy’ and ‘enable’ at the core of his leadership approach; Jack Welch with his 3Es, who then inspired Bob McDonald at P&G to craft his own version of the 5Es; and Jim Collins, who shared his version of Level 5 Leadership in the book Good to Great with execution at the core. The E5 Movement is a call to action to all leaders worldwide to lead with impact. The five Es are: envision, express, excite, enable and execute. These five rules of leadership are both timeless and borderless. The real-life anecdotes, combined with the conversational tone of the book, make this an accessible and impactful read. Thought-provoking and practical, this book will inspire leaders to think about their own leadership, adopting the five Es on their mission to lead their teams to excellence—a true game changer. Pick your five and join the movement! PAUL DUPUIS is the CEO and chairman of Randstad Japan. Paul was formerly the CEO of Randstad India and chairman of HOPE International (JP).
