There is a widespread consensus amongst people working in business that the future can't be an extrapolation of the past. There is a sense that the pace of business, the dynamics of the markets, the end-of-distance of the internet era and the constant shaking up of traditional 'rules of the game', makes organizational life today complex, often unpredictable, volatile, high risk and at the same time full of opportunities never dreamt of before. And still companies are by and large hooked on the old sets of skills and competencies that worked well in the past. There is a clear disconnection between the sense that this 'current-future' is very different from the past and, for example, the types of people and skills that companies are still looking for when recruiting or training people within the organization. We need a new view of the way we do things in the organization. And some truly new people. This book maps 12 kinds of unconventional - by old standards - people who can make all the difference in today's organizations. These are people who have abilities that have perhaps been considered secondary in the past, but who can literally 'make or break' the success of a company today. They explore and map new possibilities and are not tied to the rules of the past. This book will help all leaders and anyone in business interested in breaking out of the 'me-too' trap. It will point them in the right direction to find the people that can explore the unknown and bring greater success to the company.
