Join me as I host Saar Ben-Attar to discuss his new book, “Challengers: How a New Breed of Leaders Collaborates and Wins in a Hyper Competitive World”.
As we shift ever more into a fast-changing, hyper-competitive economy, so does the organizing logic of our organizations must change, to outperform and sustain optimal performance. We are moving from clearly defined industry boundaries to porous borders, where new and emerging opportunity fields are found. There is a change from hierarchical organizational decision-making to autonomous networks that quickly solve challenges and scale new solutions.
In our conversation we explore:
What is a “Challenger” mindset?
What areas/organizations should not be challengers?
What are the key traits required to be a challenger?
and more!
