Introduction

The world is resetting. It feels tipped now. Power, money, people, influence, and “coolness” are sliding around and pooling in new places. We are not sure where things are going to end up. Leading a business or any organization right now feels like shooting pool on the back of a small boat in high seas during a storm.

Eventually, the world will find its new stability. Eventually…maybe, but not in the foreseeable future. Managers and leaders are trying to guide their teams and organizations through these uncertain times. People are joining up in unprecedented alliances and coalitions to tackle problems that transcend any single organizational boundary.

At a minimum, the environment is imposing requirements for substantial change. Many of us are facing a mandate for wholesale transformation. The PRIMES is a gyroscope that you and your group can depend on to chart your best path, keep oriented, right the ship should the unexpected happen, and get to where you want to be, when you want to be there.
