Disruptive Leaders Wanted to Change World

Well-- today in business week there was another validation that disruptive leadership is needed to change the world.

If you remember my first blog on the Group That Will Change The World, an article such as the above Business Week one gets our fire burning. As my Masters In Health care Innovation Cohort moves through the program it is becoming clear that many of the institutions that once held great prestige are lead by traditional leadership.





I think we need to ask ourselves, who do we want running our companies? The Chronic CEO or the Disruptive Deviant (deviant used in the best sense of the word). I would choose the Disruptive Deviant for two reasons.


1) New and exciting discoveries happen when things are shaken up. Look at the work done by Jose Fonseca.


2) Fresh ideas come from those who are fed up.





In August when the full impact of the new generation of Disruptive Deviants hit the world look for major changes to follow. We liken the class to a scene in "The Matrix" Neo, the main character, is asked to choose between a blue pill and a red pill.

If you take the Blue pill the story ends and you believe whatever you want to believe. Basically you are thrown back into the rut of tasks and status-quo.
OR
If you take the RED pill and you stay in wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. In short, see the world for what it is, and then strive to change it.

We in the MHI program have taken the RED pill, and the truth is becoming more apparent. Its time to shift the paradigm of the rest of the world, as it is a matter of survival!
