We live in an era of increasing entrepreneurship and constant change, and new leaders have to learn to adapt. In this episode of unsuitable on Rea Radio, we’ll take a look at the rising generation of young leaders, how the challenges facing leadership are shifting and how leaders can innovate in today’s increasingly competitive business environment.
Our guest is Kyle Quillen, founder and chief technology officer of Agile Networks, a telecommunications company committed to enhancing public safety communications, extending the reach of existing fiber assets for government and education and serving as a catalyst for economic development and rural broadband in previously under served markets. On this episode, Kyle shares his own story as a young entrepreneur and identifies what others can do to emerge as leaders in their own industries.
You Want Leadership to be Like a Smartphone – Not a Flip Phone
At the end of the day, leadership is still about communication and guidance. However, new leaders have to manage, leverage and appeal to an even newer, younger generation of employees and customers who behave differently. It’s especially important that, as your customers and partners attempt to engage the younger generation, leaders can identify and attract the best young talent.
If you want to emerge as a new leader, or you just don’t understand the younger generation, this episode will teach you:
- How today’s leaders are (and aren’t) different from yesterday’s leaders.
- How to overcome the biggest challenge facing leaders in 2017.
- How leadership can innovate on culture and technology.
