"Leaders no longer can tame Disruption. Instead, Insightful Leadership requires you to welcome repeated waves of Disruption to get ahead of the competition. The greatest opportunity for innovation comes now when history is accelerated."
Jim Tompkins

In Insightful Leadership: Surfing the Waves to Organizational Excellence, Tompkins describes how COVID-19, digital innovation and geopolitical and financial crises have accelerated history into a world where Disruption is the new normal. Tompkins' solution lies in continual business adaptation and innovation, meaning Insightful Leaders must continually reinvent their organizations to achieve true growth and progress. Leaders must position their enterprises to catch the waves, navigate them when they break, use insight into how the waves will advance and harness their power to ride into the future. Insightful Leadership provides entrepreneurs and leaders with optionality – actionable insights to build resiliency and transform Disruption into opportunities for innovation.

"Jim Tompkins is a thought leader who has often been able to see the future. My conversations with Jim have always been about what is next, and next. I have experienced this with Jim on topics of supply chains, robotics, technology, eCommerce, Unichannel, and more. Now, Jim has unleashed his power of seeing the future on the topic of leadership. His book on Insightful Leadership is both profound and practical, making it a user's guide to turning chaos into competitive advantage. Thanks Jim, a book I will read several times."
