The big story for leaders in 2023 is ‘BE the change’ which he define as leading and embracing perpetual learning in ever-changing contexts.

He recently got invited to speak at the Nordic Business Forum about the future of leadership and how many leaders are currently stuck between the certainties of the past and the unknowns of the future. Terence believe that a change in perspective is worth at least 80 IQ points because our current perceptions are grounded in our past assumptions.

Re-perception – the ability to see, hear or become aware of something new in existing information and notice the blind spots that we are blind to – is at the heart of leadership and is crucial for sustaining vitality for the long term.

One of the clearest signs of BE the change is rethinking our assumptions and updating our opinions.

Terence also recently got invited to speak at a leadership conference about leading from the future alongside Mark Carney the former Governor of the Bank of England. A key moment of truth was the “tragedy of the horizon” – a leadership blind spot that most leaders suffer from. It means a failure to lead from the future versus leading from the past. Leading from the future means curiosity over conformity, resilience over fear and agency over ‘fake empowerment’. When we lead with outdated ways it’s a tax on human potential and future potential.
