### \<color>THE WAY WE WORK IS SHIFTING\</color>

As expectations rise, many traditional models for leadership, performance, and decision-making are no longer holding up. The issue isn’t effort or ambition, it’s a mismatch between how we’re working and what the moment requires.

The **5 Shifts** bring together the thinking shaping **LeaderSHIFT** and the wider Growth Faculty 2026 program, drawing on the work of **Esther Perel**, **Ben Crowe**, and **Liz Wiseman**, alongside insights from our Head of Learning, **Barbara Harvey**.

Each shift focuses on the levers that matter most - how we relate, decide, communicate with influence, and create momentum under pressure. The playbook combines proven and future-focused frameworks with practical tools and reflection prompts to help you make your next shift with intent and impact.

While this playbook speaks to leadership, leadership here isn’t about title or seniority.

It’s for anyone who:

*   Shapes decisions or direction
*   Influences how work gets done
*   Is responsible for outcomes - formally or informally

That includes leaders, managers, people teams, founders, operators, and anyone navigating complexity at work.

Who this is for 

- A clear explanation of each shift and why it matters now 
- Old vs new ways of thinking - what to release, what to adopt 
- Reflection prompts and a short self-assessment 
- Practical examples informed by our 2026 program

The aim is simple: clarity you can use immediately - without adding more to your workload.

 Inside the playbook:

What you can expect...

_"2026 requires a more sustainable approach to learning or “Circular Learning”. This playbook is designed for your learning to shift from consumption only to transferring learning into practicing better habits, challenging old assumptions and building new and dynamic skills to meet the workplace needs of today."_
