The world has changed more in the past 10 months than it has in the past ten years.
We know that what worked in the past will not work in the future.
So what does that mean for you as a leader?
That means you need to focus on growth.
What if you made a few key adjustments to your leadership style and - by doing that - ensured the success of your people, your organization, and yourself in a post COVID-19 world?
If 2020 has taught us anything it's that you need to be a future-ready leader.
Hi. I'm
Jacob Morgan
Today, I’m a professionally trained futurist (University of Houston) and one of the world’s leading experts on leadership, the future of work, and employee experience.
When I’m not hanging out with my wife Blake - our children Naomi and Noah, 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 in a non-COVID time - speak all over the world about these topics.
Over the past decade I have been fortunate to work with some of the most known brands in the world.

Today, our world is facing a leadership crisis. You’ve seen it in your office, across your industry, and sweeping the world.
"Over the next ten years we will have around 220 million leaders around the world!"
85% of executives are not confident in their own leadership pipelines (The Conference Board).
71% of organizations say their leaders are not ready to lead them into the future. (DDI)
Only 42% of organizations say their overall quality of leadership is high (DDI).
What leaders are struggling with today
COVID-19 has added unique stressors on leaders and businesses
Keeping up with the overall pace of change.
Learning new skillsets and mindsets to lead effectively today and in the future.
Moving away from the status quo.
Leading, inspiring, and motivating remote teams.
Attracting and retaining top talent.
Sifting through the leadership noise to get to real insights.
Personal uncertainty.
Be a Lighthouse
As a current or aspiring leader you have to think of yourself as a lighthouse. Your job is to build yourself up and to shine your light onto others and onto the sea of uncertainty that we are a part of. But a lighthouse without ships in the water is useless. Being of service to those ships is critical. You have to build yourself up to be of service and guide people and your organization to success.
Why don’t we have more future-ready leaders?
REASON 1
We teach the wrong things
Leaders are taught things like process, planning, and business strategy. But they aren’t taught to focus on the specific mindsets and skillsets required to lead effectively.
REASON 2
People become leaders before they get training
Most people get put into leadership roles at some point in their 20’s yet they don’t receive any formal leadership training until they are in their late 30’s or early 40’s. To make matters worse, the training they do receive is based on approaches that are no longer relevant.
REASON 3
Focus on profit instead of on people
Making money is still the number focus for leaders around the world because that is what they were taught. Unfortunately, they do this at the expense of their people. Profits and people are not mutually exclusive, you can generate more profit for your business BY FOCUSING on your people.
REASON 4
Leaders are focusing on the short term
Leaders are taught things like process, planning, and business strategy. But they aren’t taught to focus on the specific mindsets and skillsets required to lead effectively.
REASON 5
There's too much noise
The leadership space is crowded. There are lots of books, courses, and gurus out there who create content based on stories and observations. But, this is the only course that is based on actual insights and research from 140 of the world’s top CEOs and a survey of nearly 14,000 employees.
REASON 6
Leaders are overwhelmed
There’s a lot going on in the world right now. Leaders are overwhelmed professionally and personally. They don’t have the time to learn anything new let alone implement it. But, what if you could become a future-ready leader by making small gradual changes that didn’t take up much of your time?
The Future Is Now
In the past leaders had the luxury of a “wait and see” mentality to business. Today, “late adopter” is the same thing as “out of business.” COVID-19 has made all of the concepts from my book, The Future Leader, essential for present day and aspiring leaders.
There is a tremendous opportunity for you to become the best version of yourself and a future ready leader.
The mindsets and skills required to do so are not things you are born with they are things you can learn.
If you are on this course page it’s clear that you are seeking to improve yourself and those around you.
You know the world of work is changing and that the methods you used in the past are no longer going to work in the present or the future.
COVID-19 has created unprecedented challenges for you, your teams, and your organization.
Leadership is changing right before our eyes!
With all the changes happening in the world as a result technology and artificial intelligence, talent, globalization, COVID-19, social justice issues, the need for more transparency, and a huge focus on purpose and meaning...
how can you best lead your people and your organization to success?

MODULE #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.

MODULE #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.
