A massive change is happening and it affects us all.

Borders are being made irrelevant by a global revolution that is changing the way we
live, work and play.

Entire industries are disappearing—causing the displacement of millions of people.

At the same time new opportunities that didn’t exist just a few years ago are creating
businesses, jobs and careers for people who have the skills and the foresight to
prepare themselves.

If you think we are referring to a technology revolution, you are only partially right.
This revolution is reputed to be more impactful than the Industrial Revolution and the
Information Revolution. No one will be spared!

Social change, combined with technology, and higher living standards have led to
disruption of the old ways of doing things. We are now in the age of EXPERIENCE,
which requires a new approach to LEADERSHIP. The old rules no longer work.

This transition from old to new has ignited a crisis of leadership.

Forward thinking leaders and ambitious individuals, who are willing to evaluate, let
go, and adopt New Leadership Rules will succeed and dominate the unprecedented
opportunities that are right in front of us.

If you are motivated to be the best you can be, to succeed beyond your wildest
dreams and to take as many people with you as possible, consider adopting some or
all of these 33 New Rules of Leadership:
