Beyond The Now
As a leader, you probably have a lot on your plate already, but if you’re not carving out time to look ahead, you’re missing a key part of your role. Your job isn’t only to manage the present, but to help your team navigate what’s in the future. That means intentionally looking up from the day-to-day and scanning the horizon. Leverage AI to build a habit and culture of future thinking so you can thrive, not just survive, in uncertainty.

As a leader, are you spending enough time thinking about the future?
I was in Melbourne last week, speaking at a conference to a group of senior leaders about seeing into the future. This is an important part of any leader’s role – whatever level or role you have in your organisation.
Leaders have to manage two competing priorities.
One, as a leader of a team or an organisation, you’re responsible for that team and organisation. So you’re looking down and having an internal focus to ensure you’re meeting your goals.
But you also have a responsibility is to look up and out – to see what’s coming in the future. You won’t be able to predict the future exactly – nobody can – but you can gain some valuable insights that help you make better, more well-informed decisions now.
It’s not always easy to do that, but the more senior you are, the more of your salary is being paid for that role.
This is a crucial part of our role. It’s doesn’t have to be 100% of your day job, but you can’t ignore it. After all, if you don’t do it, who will?
In my presentation last week, I shared with those leaders some of the tools we futurists use to see into the future. And now that we have the power of AI at our fingertips, you can use it to do much of the heavy lifting, so you can focus on applying your own human intelligence to it.
