The Three Pillars

Research Michael drew on pointed to two capabilities future leaders will need most: adaptability and resilience. Writing the book, he felt something was missing underneath them. The third pillar is authenticity.

LEADER

Tap a pillar to pull it out. Tap again to put it back.

All three, together

“Adaptability will help a leader change. Resilience is going to help you recover. And authenticity will help keep you grounded.”

Michael Tiger

Adaptability

Can I adjust when the situation changes?

Not a jump from A to Z. Small changes, made with enough grace and flexibility to keep up.

Resilience

Can I recover when it doesn't go as planned?

Things won't go as expected. It's the small changes, and how quickly you get back up, that make the difference.

Authenticity

Do I know what I won't compromise?

Not "this is who I am" as an excuse not to change. Knowing your values, what you'll flex on, and what you won't.
