Film · short · 2 min
Muhammad Ali was one of the best-known men of the 20th century, a three-time heavyweight boxing champion who captivated millions of fans throughout the world with his mesmerizing combination of speed, grace, and power in the ring, and charm and playful boasting outside of it. At the height of his fame, he took American life — the racial prejudices, the religious biases, the role of celebrities, the role of sports in society — and refashioned it in his own image.

Nearly everyone says we know what to do, we just lack the will to do it. We lack leadership -- not telling people facts, figures, doom, gloom, and instructions. That's management, which is important, but leadership -- helping people do what they want to but haven't figured out how. No leaders or people with authority understand nature and I think it's easier for scientists to learn leadership than leaders to learn science.
I support more science, but it's overwhelmingly clear. We don't need more science to create a vision and strategy. People need to feel meaning and purpose, to have an expectation of success. That comes from what leaders work on -- stories, images, role models, systems, emotions, and culture.
So I focus on leadership -- bringing what people like Mandela, Eisenhower, Ali, and Deming brought but I don't see anyone doing today. My TEDx talks https://joshuaspodek.com/tedx and podcast illustrate what I'm working on, though I've advanced a lot since then.
Here are podcast episodes describing my strategy:
