Leaders were once paid the big bucks to come up with a long-term vision, a strategy that could carry a company for years. 

Now? The most successful leaders are those who can question assumptions, challenge the status quo, and completely reinvent a strategy on the run. 

World leading organisational psychologist Adam Grant once trained as a magician. He wants you to be equipped to pull a rabbit out of hat when you need to!  

As a top TED speaker, best-selling author, and leading researcher working with the likes of the Pentagon and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Adam studies the best leaders in the world. 

He says knowing what you don’t know is the leadership quality du jour. How ready are you to think again?
