Overview

We’re in a moment where the leadership playbook isn’t outdated—it’s unusable. Organizations have built systems so complex and contradictory that even the best leaders are burning out. We hire people to be bold, then drown them in process. We demand fast decisions but require consensus. We celebrate courage—only when it’s comfortable. This isn’t leadership; it’s performance art.

Today’s leaders aren’t failing from change, but from nonsense: culture theater, conflicting expectations, and endless handholding disguised as empathy. They’re asked to be strategic visionaries, human-centered motivators, financial stewards, and execution machines—without making anyone uncomfortable. 

In this presentation, Lisa Bodell delivers new rules for a full-system leadership reboot—where leaders cut through complexity, simplify what’s broken, and reclaim the authority to lead. The era of performative leadership is over. The future belongs to the bold—those willing to speak hard truths and make real decisions.

It’s time to burn down the models that no longer work—and finally let leaders lead.
