In this episode, Seth invites listeners to reflect on whether they think about the future, and if so, how they think about the future, particularly in the face of change, uncertainty, and the unknown. Seth emphasizes that leadership requires adaptability and challenges leaders to not just stick to their plans but to be flexible and prepared for unforeseen disruptions - because they will occur!

Seth explores four crucial concepts:

• Defining change, uncertainty, and the unknown
• Distinguishing between future-proofing and future-prepping
• Understanding a leadership's role in the face of change
• And the three core principles of leadership

He explains that while change involves unexpected events that alter plans, uncertainty relates to risks that can be anticipated but not controlled, and the unknown encompasses unforeseen and unpredictable events.

Seth argues that leaders should focus on future-prepping—adapting and evolving with changing circumstances—rather than trying to future-proof against inevitable changes.

Listeners learn about a leader’s role in the face of change, and are reminded that if you don’t want to deal with change, you aren’t ready to lead.

Finally, Seth emphasizes the importance of vision, problem resolution, and creating leaders, providing a framework for leading effectively through change and uncertainty.

This episode offers actionable insights for leaders striving to navigate the complexities of an unpredictable world.
