Who was ever prepared for this?

Who are 3.0 Leaders?

Research shows that in the next decade, the growth of human knowledge will go from doubling every 12 months today to doubling every 12 hours. How do we, as a society, adapt to change like that? The world is changing and so are the operating rules. In fact, systems are more expansive, connected and global than ever and the pace of change is accelerating. Although a few may profess to know what the new rules are, no one person, organization or entity has all the answers. 3.0 Leaders understand the power of collaboration, and how to leverage their networks. They are not only life-long learners, but examine day by day what is still relevant and what is not. They are not afraid of the new and seek ideas that produce disruptive and game changing innovations.
