Phoenix, AZ -- (SBWire) -- 06/19/2017 --Over the past two years, Maureen Metcalf, Founder and CEO of Metcalf & Associates conducted 100 weekly interviews with top executives, academics, consultants, and diplomats from around the globe. For the 100th anniversary, she synthesizes the key themes and summarizes key learning during these interviews. This interview focuses on what top thinkers and leaders are focusing on. They continue to build their own inner capacity to deal with life's challenges, they are staying current on a broad range of topics that impact their organizations from technology to geopolitics and they are focusing on evolving their organizations to remain successful as the ecosystem in which they operate continually changes. One of the most important take-away's is that while leaders are facing unprecedented challenge, there are amazing people thinking about these issues and experimenting with solutions to solve our biggest challenges.
Metcalf's biggest take away from these interviews is feeling of being hopeful. She talked to people from across the world working to solve some of the most complicated and intractable problems. They are making progress and they were willing to share their goals, insights, successes, and learnings with listeners. Many are conducting action research, doing projects and reporting on the results. Practitioners and researchers are teaming up to provide research-based solutions and are researching new approaches to solve emerging challenges now face global leaders. One of the concepts that struck her is that what sets these leaders apart is how they demonstrate wisdom in action and their willingness to share that wisdom.
