About the book

In the grip of the pandemic, I reached out to Dr. Vince Molinaro, a global leadership advisor and author of The New York Times best-selling book The Leadership Contract, for a brief conversation about the new patterns and trends in organizations that we saw around the world. I brought my perspective as a world-leading authority on project management and transformation, and Vince contributed the view from boards, senior executives and human resources and talent development leaders. Together, this conversation helped us see the new frontier emerging from this crisis.

As we continue to work through a world turned upside down by COVID-19, organizations everywhere will need to come back stronger, and more resilient and they should hit the ground running to make up for the lost time and momentum. However, the reality is that many leaders tell us they feel like they have lost control in the face of the sweeping changes and disruption brought by the global pandemic - this is where we need to start. We need to regain a sense of control so we can lead our teams, deliver on our projects and execute on the strategic priorities of our organizations.
