Leadership and value in an age of change
summary
Claim: three concrete shifts — new technical revolutions, new civilizational verbs, and evolutionary jumps — illustrated by measurable examples: Einride testing freight pods touted for 2020, Moore’s law doubling processors, Deep Blue 1996 then Watson then AlphaGo beats Lee Sedol, and a 1g constant-acceleration thought experiment that puts Mars in three days. Recommended tools and practices are specific: use the Cynefin framework, probe-sense-respond, minimize cost of change, favor being first follower, and treat continuous delivery as an org-changing experiment.
