## Resource

▶︎ #150 | From Hard Trends to Bigger Bigs: Turning Disruption Into Certainty w/ Daniel Burrus Join your host, Aleksandra Lemańska, for a thought-provoking episode of the Leman Tech Leadership Podcast as she engages in a compelling conversation with Daniel Burrus, one of the world's leading futurists on global trends and disruptive innovation, and a New York Times bestselling author. In this episode, Daniel shares his groundbreaking perspective on entrepreneurship and leadership, challenging conventional wisdom about how we measure success. The discussion explores why organizations need failure metrics alongside success metrics, and how the biggest problems we face are often the ones we choose to skip rather than confront. Daniel delves into the critical human need for certainty in uncertain times and presents a powerful framework for how tech leaders can anticipate opportunities rather than simply react to change. Through Daniel's expertise in helping leaders separate Hard Trends that will happen from Soft Trends that might happen, this episode provides invaluable guidance for technology leaders navigating rapid transformation. Whether you're leading a startup or an established tech team, Daniel's proven methodologies for turning disruption into strategic advantage offer practical insights for building anticipatory leadership capabilities in today's fast-paced technology landscape. ✔︎ Mentioned in the episode: “The Little Engine That Could” “The Anticipatory Organization: Turn Disruption and Change into Opportunity and Advantage” ✉︎ FOLLOW DANIEL ON: ⤵︎ LinkedIn: @danielburrus iona-b-176458189 Website: https://www.burrus.com/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Daniel-Burrus/author/B001K81A2S ✉︎ FOLLOW ME ON: ⤵︎ LinkedIn: @aleksandralemanska TikTok: @aleksandra_lemans…
