Sam Isaacson challenges us to rethink leadership through three powerful lenses—as ancestors, humans, and change makers. This framework reveals how truly effective leadership transcends quarterly targets and focuses instead on lasting impact, full humanity, and meaningful transformation.

• Leaders should be change makers who catalyze transformation, not just maintain status quo
• Thinking of yourself as a "leader as ancestor" means considering what legacy you'll leave for future generations
• Embracing "leader as human" means recognizing our bodies, emotions, and values as assets, not liabilities
• Four universal leadership traits—wisdom, integrity, bravery, and kindness—have been valued across all cultures and time periods
• Systemic kindness creates ripple effects throughout organizations when leaders prioritize human impact
• Technology evolution shapes leadership styles, from the industrial revolution to today's AI revolution
• Tomorrow's leaders must understand technology while maintaining human-centered approaches
• Governance of creativity will become an essential leadership skill as AI capabilities expand
