”Fantastiske forandringer” lyder både kækt og måske en smule provokerende. For forandringer kan både være træls, forstyrrende og nogle gange spild af tid. Alligevel slår forfatterne et slag for, at forandringer er fantastiske. Især når man selv er med til at bestemme retning og tempo. Forfatterne kalder det ”nomadeledelse”: At tage et positivt ejerskab for evig tilpasning og udvikling. Det handler om at bevare sin nysgerrighed, ydmyghed og åbenhed, og samtidigt drive sig selv og sin organisation fremad. Også selvom vi sjældent kan se mere end ét skridt frem ad gangen. NOMADELEDELSE er en praktisk guide til at løfte din egen ledelse, så forandringer bliver ufarlige. Bogen er bygget op om nogle konkrete modeller, ledelsesværktøjet Fire & Shield og fire inspirerende cases fra virksomheder, der udøver nomadeledelse i praksis. For når vi bevæger os i kanten af det velkendte, er vi nødt til at høre pionerernes fortællinger. Glæd dig til at blive inspireret af Somera, et 100 % remote marketingbureau, hvor ingen arbejder mere end 25 timer; af MAN Energy Solutions Danmark, som er blevet international frontløber på dekarbonisering. Bliv klogere på, hvordan agile værktøjer har mere end halveret gennemløbstiden i Coloplasts projektafdeling, og hør fortællingen om det personlige lederskab i roccamores ekstreme vækstrejse. Der er ikke tale om superhelteberetninger, men om ærlige fortællinger om at bevæge sig i ukendt land og gøre det, så godt man kan, med de muligheder, der viser sig undervejs. ”Vi ser andre organisationer, både indenfor koncernen og i branchen generelt, hvor man ikke har ageret i tide, og de står nu overfor kæmpestore forandringer, hvor de potentielt skal smide den berømte håndgranat. Der kan vi godt høre, at mange af vores ledere og medarbejdere siger: ’Hold op, hvor er det godt, at vi har lavet de her forandringer allerede’.” - Citat fra bogen af Bjarne Foldager, CEO, MAN Energy Solutions Danmark I en verden i evig forandring er vi og vores organisationer altid på vej. Nomadeledelse handler om at nyde rejsen.

Breakthrough methods to solve for the unknown on the path to innovation, creativity, and business growth, while avoiding bureaucracy and stagnationWhat sits above any person, project, function, or strategy in your organization? What impacts your company's performance for years and decades? What shows up in nearly every interaction and decision in your organization? Like it or not, there are systems at work in your organization that standardize how people think, collaborate, and make decisions. These systems affect everything, yet they're rarely discussed, managed, or even thought about.In Decision Sprint, innovation and growth expert Atif Rafiq argues that while talent is critically important to any company's success, the systems through which collaboration and decision-making happen are what separate industry leaders from the rest-and that systems designed to embrace unknowns are quickest and most enduring way to foster growth, continuous innovation, and realization of strategy.This groundbreaking guide walks readers through the process of embracing unknowns from the start of a bright idea, strategic project, or new initiative through the steps of alignment and decision making with sponsors and executives. He distills his knowledge into 13 "superpowers" that rewire how people think, collaborate, and decide in order to foster fearless interaction with the unknown, constructive questioning, team-based problem solving, and a collective IQ lift for everyone involved in strategic or innovation initiatives.These superpowers include:Moving Upstream-to feed and smooth the way for downstream executionEstablishing Decision Sprints-to tap into the power of questioning, gather the right input and defeat the fear of unknownsCrafting Workflows-to bring decision sprint to life and streamline meetings and collaborationSocializing Knowledge-to solidify buy-in, creating alignment and "drama" free decision-making for important initiativesLanding and Expanding to Achieve Adoption-to drive change one initiative at a time, starting at the team levelLeveraging Digital Tools-to utilize game changing software to enable decision sprints and pave the way for a goldmine of data about upstream workPreparing for AI-to assist leader and management with new level of radar and signal about the momentum or lack of it when it comes to translating strategy into actionDistilling years of experience working in the upper echelons of both long-established corporations and Silicon Valley organizations, Atif Rafiq has learned that when a system works to embrace the unknowns that come with new growth and market opportunities, the results can be extraordinary.Leverage Rafiq's superpowers to make innovation and creativity part of your company's DNA-and build your organization into an industry leader that constantly makes the leap from identification of whitespaces, innovation, and growth opportunities to taking decisive action on them.
