This document discusses leading into 2021 and beyond. It focuses on evolving leadership by working on individual and collective internal and external areas of focus. The internal individual areas include reflecting personally and being self-aware. The collective internal involves aligning a team through shared vision and values. The individual external is about priorities, communication, and integrity. The collective external centers on clear structure, roles, systems, and training. It emphasizes that context and words shape reality, and leaders should be aware of team beliefs and values to create aligned futures. Leaders are encouraged to reflect regularly on assumptions and decide consciously on futures.
