Why should we consider a madness to be a 21st Century Executive?
We explore in this conversation some of the great and important concepts brought in Dr Morne's latest book, EXECUTIVE FUTURES - A Quest for Quantum Curriculum. The mindsets, the methods and the madness of becoming a 21st century executive (with a Foreword by Mamphela Ramphele).
Dr. Morne Mostert is an international advisor on strategic foresight and executive decison-making. As globe trotter in the Corporate World he has delved into assignments in Paris, Geneva, London, Rome, Barcelona, Madrid, Melbourne, Baku, Tokyo and several other important locations where the high profile companies are facing today's great challenges in the world market.
As a member of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) international panel of experts on the Future of Work, and also as a fellow in the FOW Global Network, Dr. Morne has a deep understanding of the present trends shaping our world as changes come in a bundle, fast and furious.
We also will discuss and listen to some of Morne's innovative concepts, with the pragmatic approach that charaterizes his way of bringing a one of a kind contribution, be it to the executive role but specially to the corporate leaders and their key responsibilities.
EXECUTIVE FUTURES is available in print format and as an e-book (kindle) at Amazon:
