This document discusses the changing nature of leadership as the global economy shifts from industrial to knowledge to creative. It suggests that the MBA degree only provides a temporary "business visa" and that future success will depend more on results than degrees. The document provides 10 suggestions for developing a new style of leadership focused on learning, collaboration, asking questions rather than giving answers, and simplifying rather than overcomplicating. It emphasizes that leadership in the future will require being human and authentic in a digital world and gaining trust through inspiration and execution, rather than just competencies.
