Above all, I believe that this new style of
leadership that will be required to thrive
(and even survive) in this new world, will
require a wider lens and be open to grab-
bing ideas from all over the place to adopt
and adapt the way we lead organizations.
Harvard Business Review concluded that
organizations with "2D diversity" (i.e.
diversity in background and experiences)
in their leadership teams are "45 per cent
likelier to report a growth in market share
over the previous year and 70 per cent like-
lier to report that the firm captured a new
market." In other words, companies that
are growing into new products and new
markets today are open to seeing things dif-
ferently and leveraging opinions and ideas
from a diverse group of new leaders that are
emerging. Above all, consumer-facing in-
novation and technologies being developed
for a wide range of industries and use cases
should all be considered when developing
the future of defence technology. It won't
be good enough to think about technology
development in the linear fashion I once
thought, leaning on the same principles,
companies and types of leaders that we al-
ways did. Five years later, I've changed my
view on technology quite a bit.
