A key lesson is the importance of embracing change. The authors argue that in an ever-evolving landscape, adaptability is crucial for success. Organizations must be willing to pivot and adjust their strategies in response to new challenges and opportunities.

Hoque and Baer advocate for purpose-driven leadership. Leaders should inspire their teams by clearly communicating the organization's mission and values, which can motivate employees and align their efforts toward common goals.

Interesting Stuff

• Collaboration & co-creation are not the same thing. Collaboration means working with others - who often have their own goals & agendas. These goals have to be matched & if they're not, one person’s gain can be another person’s loss. Co-creation is about jointly creating something new with input from everyone involved. If we want to do things differently in future, collaboration isn't enough. People need to be near the creation process (co-creation) to work in creative ways.
