What makes a great leader today? Many leadership development programs are based on success models of a world that was, not of a world that is or will be. The business world of the 21st century is more global, digitally enabled and transparent than ever before. Information is constantly flowing at incredible speeds, so relying on traditional methods of developing your skills will only serve to stunt your growth as a leader. Great leaders see around corners and shape their future instead of just reacting to it.

In this TED Talk, she shares the three simple yet crucial questions every leader needs to ask to thrive in the future.
