Whether we are dealing with a global crisis or a work assignment, how can our solutions be focused on the long term, as opposed to reacting in the moment? In a recent Author Talks interview, futurist Ari Wallach talks about the importance of a “Longpath” mindset, which shifts away from short-termism and balances the past, the present, and the future. Check it out and become an ancestor our future needs. And for more on leading with awareness and intentional choice, be sure to preorder the upcoming book Deliberate Calm by McKinsey authors Jacqueline Brassey , Aaron De Smet , and Michiel Kruyt.
