Most leaders are content to grow their companies and reap the benefits of their success. But not you; you know that your position and your power have been given to you for a higher purpose. You are meant to model what a new paradigm company, and new paradigm leadership, look like.
Being called in this way can be a real pain. Others congratulate you for your success, but their praise doesn’t touch the place in you that knows you are supposed to be doing much more to change the world. Doing business in the usual way just isn’t enough, no matter how much profit it generates. You can’t help yourself; you have to experiment with the latest techniques and blaze a unique trail.
Out on the “bleeding edge,” there are no roadmaps. Few people have tried what you’re trying, and most of them have failed. Sometimes you move forward, and sometimes you hold back, concerned about the judgment of other leaders or the risks of failure. Deep down, you’re not even sure if your vision is possible, or whether you’re the right person to make it happen.
You’ll also find that most consultants’ advice will be useless to you. Most of the people who offer to make you more successful are hopelessly mired in the old paradigm. The few who share your passion for change know little more than you do about the road ahead.
The good news is that the new paradigm isn’t as murky as it looks. Though no one knows exactly what the businesses of the future will look like, certain specific features have emerged and become clear. There are logical steps you can take, new paradigm features you can “install” in your company, and clear sequences and guidelines that will show you the way.

The time to transform yourself and your organization is now. The anxiety you feel about taking the next step is simply one of the obstacles you must overcome on your journey.
To a transformed world,
Tim Kelley
