The Intelligent Leader: Unlocking the 7 Secrets to Leading Yourself and Others in an AI World With John Mattone
In today’s fast-paced AI business world, we find ourselves in a conundrum: regardless of the incredible technological advancements the world has seen and experienced in the past decade, all businesses still require (and will demand) superior leadership, outstanding talent, and a culturethat is positive and empowering to compete and remain relevant now and into the future. Here’s the stark reality, however: superior leadership—globally, is in massive, short supply. So is talent and cultures that are positive, inclusive, and empowering. Here’s another conundrum: there have never been so many books, blogs, speakers, and seminars on leadership, yet global organizations are finding that the supply of leadership talent significantly “lagging” the supply of raw intellectual horsepower. There is no shortage of intellect (artificial included) in the world of business; when it comes to superior leadership, however, most global organizations are realizing how difficult it is to compete simply because they just don’t have enough great leaders in their ranks. In addition, the challenge of preparing the next generation of leaders to handle the fiercely competitive global landscape, and lightening, fast pace of change that defines this era, is proving almost insurmountable. AI is not and will never become a substitute for great leadership, outstanding talent, and cultures that inspire and empower the “heart and soul” of people. These are the true “leading indicators” that determine and will determine the operating success of any global business.
John Mattone has found a solution to this leadership paradox and developed an approach that cuts right to the core of what holds leaders back from greatness and organizations from maintaining their long-term relevance. It’s what has made him the world’s top executive coach, the “coach of coaches”, and what has drawn world leaders and Fortune 500 CEOs—from the late Steve Jobs to PepsiCo’s Roger Enrico—to seek his counsel. And fortunately for the business world as well as global government entities, Mattone’s secrets are no longer being shared exclusively in boardrooms and executive suites, but also in his 2020 bestseller, The Intelligent Leader and his powerful keynote, based on the book.
What makes John Mattone’s approach to leadership and helping people and organizations achieve lasting success so unique, is his focus on helping people develop what he calls their “inner core,” which requires that they get in touch with their deeper purpose, strengthening their character, and clarifying their values. These are the elements of “heart and soul” that is missing in the leadership equation and without these elements, people and organizations will never create the masterpieces they were intended to create—even with the benefits that technological advancement affords us.
“AI is not and will never become a substitute for great leadership, outstanding talent, and cultures that inspire and empower the “heart and soul” of people. These are the true “leading indicators” that determine and will determine the operating success of any global business”—John Mattone
This sets his approach—the IL Philosophy, apart from the many leadership and life development approaches that try skipping over this critical foundational piece while focusing more on “outer core” skill development—like strategic thinking, decisiveness, and the drive for results. And, while these “hard” skills are important for competent leadership and organizational success, John Mattone has found that developing an individual’s inner core is the key to unlocking deeper leadership and organizational success. In fact, Mattone has found again and again that an individual’s capacity for improvement in their outer core—whether they want to become a better leader, better parent, better family member, better community servant, better spouse, etc., is directly tied to the strength, vibrancy, and maturity of their inner core.
