Leading Through Uncertainty
How can business leaders make better decisions in a world shaped by geopolitical disruption, climate pressures, and artificial intelligence?
In this thought-provoking book, Peter Lorange reviews and synthesizes insights from nearly 40 influential books to help executives understand the external forces reshaping business. Rather than offering another theory of the future, he distills the ideas, warnings, and opportunities identified by leading thinkers, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and technology experts.
Through concise book reviews, practical commentary, real-world cases, and decision-focused reflections, the book provides leaders with a powerful framework for assessing political risk, navigating environmental challenges, and capturing the potential of AI. It also explores the weak signals that may help anticipate future developments.
Written for executives, investors, board members, and business students, this unique volume serves as both a leadership guide and a carefully curated roadmap to some of the most important ideas shaping business today and tomorrow.
