Today's breakneck pace of change has an immense impact on leaders -- and as a result, on the organizations they run. All too often, people remain stuck in outdated mindsets and modes of operating, even after others recognize the need for change. Leaders need to learn to pivot even when there are no obvious signals guiding their way. Leadership expert Herminia Ibarra upends traditional, introspective advice and says act first -- and then change your way of thinking. Defying standard leadership development guidance, which encourages deep self-reflection into strengths and weaknesses, this book shows that the most effective way to change is through action, not analysis, and by learning from experience, not introspection.

The "Outsight" principle : How to act and think like a leader -- Redefine your job -- Network across and out -- Be more playful with your self -- Manage the stepping-up process -- Act now.
