Breaking Free from Yesterday's Logic: The Essentials for Leadership Development, Innovation, and Future-Focused Thinking with Dr. Daniel Pesut

Introduction to Episode:

“The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence, it’s to act with yesterday’s logic”.  Peter Drucker

What logic are you using as a leader to address today’s challenges or to prepare for tomorrow?

We are so excited to have Dr. Daniel Pesut with us on the podcast today to share his knowledge and expertise regarding healthcare and nursing leadership and the different models and ways of thinking that are essential for today’s and tomorrow’s leaders. 

Dr. Pesut encourages futures work at the personal, professional, organizational, and planetary levels.  He provides resources and direction for this body of work through the Katharine J. Densford International Center for Nursing Leadership at the University of Minnesota.  

Dr. Pesut notes “Things are changing so rapidly and there are so many disruptions you’ve got to be able to anticipate things.  You can anticipate hard trends.  We need to have requisite variety.  We can’t use the same things we have in the past because the dynamics, people, situations, stakes, and the metrics are different”.

Are you embracing new models and innovative ways of thinking as you navigate disruption and rapid change? 

During this interview we explore numerous models and ways of thinking that are essential competencies for future leaders.
