The world has changed more in the past 10 months than it has in the past ten years.
What’s the biggest difference between a sought-after industry thought leader featured in Forbes and leading a high-performing team to unprecedented success and a mid-level manager struggling to guide their team while battling executives who say one thing and do another?
If you guessed Evel Knievel-level risk-taking and audacity, you’d be wrong.
If you guessed unequivocal charisma and nonstop networking, you’d be wrong.
And if you guessed they have samurai discipline, are just naturally gifted, or consume all the leadership books and trainings, you’d still be wrong.
Sure, all of those things play a part. But it’s actually a really small part of the equation.
Our world is facing a leadership crisis. You’ve seen it in your office, across your industry, and sweeping the business world. It’s not your fault, but you're caught up in it.
Let me know if this sounds familiar . . .
You started this career to make a difference. Yes, the stacks of money would be nice. And no, that 401k is nothing to snort at.
But ultimately, you show up to work because you want to help your colleagues, your company, and yourself GROW.
Well, you used to.
You also used to inhale business podcasts like a kid at the Slurpee machine. You took on projects you were scared of, and stretched yourself to meet mammoth expectations. You did the work outside of work — trying to become a better employee, a better supervisor, a better leader.
A dog-eared stack of John Maxwell books still dots your shelves, and your copy of How to Win Friends and Influence People is creased along the spine. And then there’s the dusty collection of half or mostly finished leadership development courses piling in the corner of your email.
The plain truth is . . . you started your career with the fire of a thousand forges lighting you up. You were determined to make a difference, become a thought leader, be the person that motivates, inspires, and empowers your team.
You started because you know deep down that you are the only one who can carve new paths for the people who don’t have a voice.
You are the only one who can help colleagues build the careers they strive for and develop them into the best versions of themselves.
But somewhere along the way, you were gut-punched by crusty decades-old company politics and “this is the way we’ve always done it” mentalities.
With all the hard-fought years, all the effort and commitment, isn’t it time you started reaping the rewards?
You deserve more!
With the incalculable time you’ve spent working toward the betterment of your company, the months, years (even decades!) of effort and indefatigable commitment you’ve shown your peers, your boss, and your bosses boss, you deserve to reap the rewards.
You deserve to be heard and valued by senior leadership — recognized for the strengths you bring to the company. And not just your “hard skills.” Your servant leadership should be appreciated, and your emotional intelligence respected and emulated.
You deserve to be invited to the decision-making meetings knowing that your voice, thoughts, and ideas carry weight instead of being brushed off and sent to pick up some C-suite’s coffee.
You deserve to be a priority — put first before an arbitrary quota or bottom line. You deserve the opportunities you’ve been denied by the boys club upstairs and the company political machine.
You deserve to be recognized for everything you’ve done in the company. You deserve to be thanked and promoted accordingly.
You deserve a business world where Sunday blues are a myth, and you can have the training you need, the respect you want, and the opportunities you crave because it’s the norm and not a fluke or last-ditch effort to keep you from jumping ship.
I am going to show you how you can finally knock the balance back in your favor and win those overdue rewards.
"One person (namely me) can’t make an industry-changing impact."
I hear you.
It definitely seems daunting — standing up to an industry, and even business world, that are so stuck in their ways. But the truth is that many successful changes throughout history have been started because one person saw something could be better and set out on a journey to make it better.
In fact, one definition of a leader is if you can make things happen in your company without a budget and without a fancy title. All change starts with one person!
I am just one person, but bit by bit, I’ve been making change happen. And more importantly, you can, too.
"You have to have a certain personality to be a strong leader."
Being a leader is something anyone can practice and learn. Studies have shown us time and again that, while some leaders are born, the majority of them are actually made.
Your personality is not nearly as important as your skillset and mindset surrounding leadership. If you can tune those to a frequency that serves, drives growth, and is future-ready, you can achieve any level of leadership.
If our businesses are going to survive the torrents of change coming, we need to diversify our leadership to include every kind of person with every kind of personality.
(More on this in a moment!)
"The system wasn’t built for people like me to succeed."
Let me guess . . . you’ve lost track of the number of times you’ve had to bite your tongue. You can still feel the sting of a discriminatory incident or colleague who was blatantly prejudiced.
You remember wanting to put your hand up for a big job, but feeling waves of doubt crashing over.
You are reeling from years of lacking — lacking opportunities, mentorship, trust, training, vision, and resources.
When you put all of that side-by-side, it’s easy to believe you’re playing a game with absolutely no chance of winning.
And the sometimes harsh truth is: nobody is going to look out for you but you, so if you want change to happen, you have to be the change maker.
If we dive into history, we can see that the system wasn't made for many people to succeed, from Steve Jobs, who was fired from his own company to Martin Luther King.
People need to believe that they can change the system, and this starts by changing the people, and that starts by changing yourself. Lead by example and be the change you want to see.
If you want to change the system so that it helps others just like you, then you need to become the leader that your people need.
"It’s impossible to keep up with all the quick changes happening in business."
Things are indeed changing quickly, and they will never be as slow as they are now.
This is the new normal that we need to embrace, and this is both one of the top trends shaping leadership and also one of the greatest challenges. It is precisely because things are changing so quickly that leaders need to embrace a new set of skills and mindsets.
The best way to keep up with changes is to keep learning new things, have a growth mindset, and be curious. And those three things are not something you’re born with. They are things you can learn.
But you have a great point, and it begs the question . . .
With the daily changes in technology and artificial intelligence, how can we be prepared to face a future that doesn’t exist?
And with our world pointing a spotlight on social justice issues, inclusion, and diversity, how can we know the best ways to implement those changes in our companies?
The Leadership Mastery Framework
When developing this six-step method, I interviewed 140 of the world’s top CEOs and surveyed 14,000 employees in partnership with LinkedIn to figure out exactly what the business world can expect in the coming years.
It’s clearer than ever — the resistant, outdated, commanding, this-is-the-way-we’ve-always-done-it styles of leadership will not survive the coming years.
Their unwillingness to step outside their comfort zones and break the slogging inertia of upper management will sink their companies and their careers.
To say this is a relief to those of you who’ve been fighting the corporate beast your whole career would be an incredible understatement.
But it also means that change and new norms are coming in fast.
The traditional ways we’ve trained our leaders cannot compete with the changes we’re facing.
So what if, instead of scrambling to adjust in the next few years and then again in another few years, we made plans now and put systems in place that will bear the weight of the future of business?
What if
you — in your position with your experience and abilities — were primed to step up exactly when needed?
What if
you were at the helm of the massive changes — leading instead of drowning?
What if
you were ALREADY equipped with the mindsets and skillsets for leading your company into unfathomable success?
THE LEADERSHIP MASTERY FRAMEWORK IS THE EXCLUSIVE, STEP-BY-STEP COURSE FOR:
Understanding exactly what we’re facing and how to leverage skills and mindsets to set yourself apart as a leader and your company’s most valuable asset.
Obliterating outdated ways of doing things — leadership development that only checks a box (while putting you to sleep) instead of actually developing leaders.
Going beyond the superficial things we think are important in leadership and focusing on needle-moving, promotion-worthy strategies that let your abilities and talents shine.
Leveraging the passions, soft and hard skills, and experience you already have for success, so you don’t have to cram yourself into someone else’s stiff corporate mold.
Executing the mindsets and skillsets needed so you can have the impact you’ve always dreamed of, the position you deserve, and the recognition you’ve earned.
You don’t want to feel powerless
during one of the biggest revolutions in business.
---
You can’t afford to sit on the sidelines,
hoping your leadership makes the right decisions — decisions that personally affect you, your team, your income, and your family.
---
You can’t afford it,
and your company definitely can’t afford to wait until the future is already here.
The good news — you don’t have to.
Who am I to be telling you all this?
Hi, I’m Jacob Morgan.
When I’m not hanging out with my wife Blake, our children Naomi and Noah, and our Yorkies, Athena and Blinnie, I run the Future of Work University — a place for future leaders to learn, grow and implement strategies for the future of work.
I’ve written four best-selling books on leadership, the future of work, and employee experience and speak all over the world about employee experience, leadership, and the future of the business world. I also have an award-winning podcast on the future of work.
I developed the Leadership Mastery Framework after interviewing 140 of the world’s top CEOs (from companies like Best Buy, Audi, Mastercard, and more).
The results illuminated exactly what we need to do to ensure our companies and our jobs survive the fast and massive change already on the horizon.
This course is the fast track to leadership mastery for the future. I want you to reach every inch of your full potential and make the supersonic impact you’ve been itching for, and this course will show you how it’s not only possible but vital that you take action.

STEP #3:
Challenges Future Leaders Must Overcome
Remember that survey of 14,000 employees I mentioned? That survey revealed some shocking and worrying results.

In this module, we’ll run through the eight massive challenges facing future leaders. If you plan on moving up in your company at all this year or ever, this module alone is worth that four or figure raise you’re set to earn.

Many of you will be tempted to jump straight into this module. After all, it carries the weight of more than 140 top-earning CEOs collectively in charge of 8 million employees. But if you follow the other modules up to this point, these four mindsets will be much easier to implement and more impactful.
IN STEP #4 YOU'LL...
STEP #5:
Skills for the Future Leaders
“They know how to inspire people." "I think it's something I'm missing.” “It’s their people skills and networking that put them ahead.” When we talk about the reasons our peers get promoted while we’re stuck in our same positions, we sometimes fall into the trap of thinking they have something we don’t. But the truth is, the best, most effective leaders in the world have mastered five critical skills. And in this module, you’ll learn exactly what they are and how you can master and implement them in your career.
IN STEP #5 YOU'LL LEARN...
