About the Author
Chris Groscurth, Ph.D.
I'm Chris and it's my personal mission and passion to help leaders build highly effective organizations that are ready for the digital age.
In all honesty, I hope that you don't need my help. Sincerely, I hope that you and the leaders in your organization are having lots of success managing the volatile, uncertain, and unrelenting changes that are defining fourth industrial revolution (4iR) organizations. If you're ahead of the curve, there's probably a lot of stuff I could learn from you.
But chances are, you're probably struggling with something around the digital transformation of work and life. Chances are something isn't working. You probably know that things aren't going as smoothly as they could/should be. Chances are, deep down inside, you know that your organization isn't future-ready.
Changes in strategy, structure, people, leaders, brand, purpose, culture, technology, digitization, innovation, new operating model, radical investors, need for greater efficiency, need for better customer experience, need to simplify, more M&A, change fatigue?
Sound familiar? That's what I thought. No leader or organization is immune to 4iR change. That's why I started this blog. I've been in the trenches advising leaders and helping them change their organizations for the past 17 years. I've been a strategic consultant to Fortune 100 leaders, start-ups, universities, and non-profits all over the world.
Even other consultants hire me. In fact, some of the biggest consulting firms in the world have sought my advice and training for getting their people ready to advise on the future of work. But, what do I know? I'm just a blue-collar kid from Detroit with an addiction to change and helping leaders be even more successful.
I started the Leadership 4iR blog to educate and empower leaders like you with free information and tools to create future-ready organizations.
Want to learn more about the value of future-ready leadership? Start by reading my blog. Then order my book. It's called Future-Ready Leadership and it's loaded with good advice for getting your organization in shape for the future. There are more than 25 practical tools that you can use to advance your leadership career and start developing tomorrow's leaders today!
My suggestion, is to 1) put your email address in one of these boxes. It'll be worth your while. I don't send a lot of junk emails, just good advice. 2) Connect with me on social media, and 3) let's start transforming the world of work together!
Best of luck and see you in the future,
Chris
