Leadership today is defined by two major challenges. One is the necessity to balance an increasing number of contradictory demands (do more with less; innovate, think globally). The other factor is the unparalleled rate of "disruptive change," which accelerates the interplay of these needs while also increasing the pressure on businesses to adapt. We wanted to capture the diversity of modern business, as well as the inventive ways people of all ages are creating their own entrepreneurial paths to support and nurture things they care about. We hope you enjoy our stories as much as we enjoyed interviewing these leaders!
