Organizational Learning and the Leadership Skill of Time Travel

We have looked at how leaders can travel into the past to identify and pull forward essential aspects to the organization’s continued identity. In the present, leaders need to encourage followers to be vigilant for the immanent future. We have set forth both the method and power of traveling to some future time and constructing a plausible narrative to link up the present with that future. All these journeys are in the service of people in the present being able to make high quality, committed choices that work with the complexity rather than flee it.
