We have a few years to transform this company, or we won't exist

That’s the conversation that changed everything for me.

I’d been watching it for years—initiatives that stalled, transformation talk that went nowhere, and a gap between who we were and who we needed to be that kept growing wider.

Then new leadership arrived. And suddenly, we had a mandate.

Transform the workforce. Close the gap between legacy thinking and future capabilities. Prove that experience plus adaptation beats starting over.

What happened next?

We retired systems that should have been replaced years ago.

We made the tough people decisions the old culture would have avoided.

We built frameworks that finally defined what “the future” actually looked like—and created career paths that honored expertise without forcing everyone into management.

And we discovered something that changed not just the organization—but how I saw my own career:

Your decades of experience aren’t becoming obsolete. They just need one thing added to them.

I’m writing a book about this transformation—about the gap every organization is facing, about the myths holding experienced leaders back, and about the one capability that makes your expertise exponentially more powerful.

Question for you: Have you felt this tension in your organization? Between “how we’ve always done it” and “what the future requires”?

Drop a comment. I’d love to hear your story.
