Take away my people but leave my factories and soon they’d be covered in grass. Take away my factories but leave my people and together we will build a better factory.(#Andrew [/b]Carnegie)[/b]

The Future is coming at you faster than ever before. In the 17th century it came at 30 Kmph . Today it brushes past us in supersonic speed. Together with the sonic boom ; it also brings revolutions of epic proportions with it ; forcing a new breed of leaders to come out of their shells and rethink the nature of their organization and the global stage at large.
People are striving for more and more participation in the decisions that shape their careers. Gone are the days when the boss’ memo was like the bible. Protestants are the flavor of this century. The ones that lay dormant are blossoming beyond cognizance.
This decentralization of sorts has forced many to reinvent strategies to define “What a Leader is supposed to do? “
As we move on decentralization essentially means a organization which is like your carpet; flat and open to dust from all angles vis-à-vis being easier to mop or clean with a vacuum cleaner. In this age very few people still lay their trust on organizational structures resembling a pyramid.
This new crop of daredevils isn’t afraid to stand up and speak their mind, to critique the flaws in the age-old systems, and their eyes are set towards the blue skies. They indeed want to be in the midst of action and be responsible for their hang-ups while seeking approval for their success. Patience from the colonial era has taken a backseat.
It is evident from the numerous number of entrepreneurs coming up these days; even from the top B-schools, knowing that they might not make as much for half a decade as they’d make in a year if they followed the norm. The lure of being at the helm of your own ship is something that drives many to set sail. Some swim, some sink but they drift afloat and come back with a better boat.
