It is the time to challenge our limits, not limit our challenges: Terence Mauri

The year 2020 proved that change is the only constant and organizations and leaders had to pivot to this changing world by focusing not just on business continuity, but on empathy, trust, and well-being of employees. The pandemic totally changed the way we look at work, work place and the workforce. In many ways, it was an accelerant for change for trust, ethics and transparency and has given leaders a unique opportunity to reimagine a more resilient and sustainable future.

In this exclusive interaction, Terence Mauri, Founder of Hack Future Lab and #1 bestselling author of ‘The 3D Leader: Take your leadership to the next level’ shares some insights on how uncertain times call for organizations to build the resilience, trust and courage to re-imagine new ways of working and why, as agents of change, it is time for leaders to rip up the rulebook on leadership and move beyond disruption.

Terence is founder of Hack Future Lab, a global management think tank helping leaders to win the future. He has been described as ‘an influential and outspoken expert on the future of leadership’ by Thinkers50, the global ranking authority of top management thinkers. Here are the excerpts from the interview.
