From the author of the ground-breaking book Reinvent Your Business Model, a new approach for thinking about the future and turning your most promising and creative ideas into reality.

We all know visionary leaders when we see them. In business, they are last-name-only disrupters like Jobs, Bezos, and Hastings, and, in politics, they are such transformative figures as Mandela and FDR. They're bold and prophetic and at the same time pragmatic. They don't just promote change--they drive it, and they inspire and mobilise others to do the same.

Although these leaders possess innate qualities that make them extraordinary, what truly sets them apart is their ability to turn their visions into action.

Industry Reviews

"6 Business Books You Need to Read to Level Up" - Success magazine

Advance Praise for Lead from the Future:

"A powerful manifesto for long-view thinking, Lead from the Future offers step-by-step guidance for leadership teams that want to let go of the past and seize a new future. I recommend it wholeheartedly to any manager who wants to become a visionary leader." -- Scott Cook, cofounder and Chairman of the Executive Committee, Intuit; Member of the Board, Procter & Gamble and eBay

"Lead from the Future shares invaluable examples of 'future-back' thinkers and companies that have exhibited long-term focus, sustained investments, and life-changing innovations. The book provides actionable insights and operating models to challenge your leadership teams to create a better tomorrow." -- Wendell P. Weeks, Chairman and CEO, Corning

"Not only does it make a powerful case for the need for long-term vision, Lead from the Future gives leaders the tools they need to set a new course for their organizations and navigate toward a better future." -- Admiral James Stavridis, U.S. Navy (Ret.), former Supreme Allied Commander, NATO; Operating Executive, The Carlyle Group

"Effective leadership today is about building an environment in which people are willing and able to cocreate a better future. Lead from the Future explains why that can be so difficult in large organizations--and it shows how barriers to breakthrough innovation can be overcome." -- Linda Hill, Wallace Brett Donham Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School; coauthor, Collective Genius

"The next decade will be far too noisy for conventional present-forward strategies. Leaders must look back from the future but act now. Johnson and Suskewicz show us how to discover the present value of future-back thinking." -- Bob Johansen, Distinguished Fellow, Institute for the Future; author, Full-Spectrum Thinking

"Lead from the Future's central premise is deceptively straightforward but decidedly revolutionary. In short, before an organization can master its future, its leaders must think about it systematically--with vision and creativity, but also with discipline, rigor, and realism. The rest is sound management. Johnson and Suskewicz have raised a battle cry for the kind of leadership we need in these uncertain times." -- Sandi Peterson, Operating Partner, Clayton, Dubilier & Rice; Member, Board of Directors, Microsoft; and former Group Worldwide Chairman, Johnson & Johnson
