We are deeply grateful to Peter Drucker, whose simple observation, “I don’t predict. I just look out the window and see what’s visible but not yet seen,” is the foundation of this book.
We would like to thank all of our wonderful contributors whose unique and thoughtful answers are leading us toward a bright future, as well as the publisher for bringing this book to its audience, and to all those behind the scenes – editors, production staff, and copyeditors – who have helped bring this work of love to life. And we are extremely thankful to our families, friends, teachers, and mentors for their support and encouragement throughout our lives and especially in the creation of this book.
Special thanks from Sarah to my dearest friend and inspiration, Frances Hesselbein, to Marshall Goldsmith, Laurence S. Lyons, Nathan Lyons, Taavo Godtfredsen, Doug Baker, the George Washington University, and to my wonderful and supportive husband, Monty Brewer, without whom this book truly would not have been possible.
