Right Here, Right Now: Politics and Leadership in the Age of Disruption

In this timely and insightful new book, Stephen J. Harper, Canada's 22nd Prime Minister, draws on a decade of experience as a G-7 leader to help leaders in business and government understand, adapt, and thrive in an age of unprecedented disruption.

Â Â Â Â Â TheÂ worldÂ isÂ inÂ flux.Â DisruptiveÂ technologies,Â ideas,Â andÂ politiciansÂ are challengingÂ businessÂ models,Â norms,Â andÂ politicalÂ conventionsÂ everywhere.Â How we,Â asÂ leadersÂ inÂ businessÂ andÂ politics,Â chooseÂ toÂ respondÂ mattersÂ greatly.Â Some voicesÂ refuseÂ toÂ concedeÂ theÂ needÂ forÂ anyÂ change,Â whileÂ othersÂ advocateÂ for radicalÂ realignment.Â ButÂ neitherÂ ofÂ theseÂ positionsÂ canÂ sustainablyÂ addressÂ the legitimateÂ concernsÂ ofÂ disaffectedÂ citizens.
Â Â Â Right Here, Right Now setsÂ outÂ aÂ pragmatic,Â forward-lookingÂ visionÂ forÂ leaders inÂ businessÂ andÂ politicsÂ byÂ analyzingÂ howÂ economic,Â social,Â andÂ publicÂ policy trends--includingÂ globalizedÂ movementsÂ ofÂ capital,Â goodsÂ andÂ services,Â and labour--haveÂ affectedÂ ourÂ economies,Â communities,Â andÂ governments.Â Â Â Â Â Â HarperÂ contendsÂ thatÂ DonaldÂ Trump'sÂ surpriseÂ electionÂ andÂ governingÂ agenda clearlyÂ signalÂ thatÂ political,Â economic,Â andÂ socialÂ institutionsÂ mustÂ beÂ more responsiveÂ toÂ legitimateÂ concernsÂ aboutÂ publicÂ policy,Â marketÂ regulation, immigration,Â andÂ technology.Â Â Â Â Â Â UrgingÂ readersÂ toÂ lookÂ pastÂ questionsÂ ofÂ styleÂ andÂ gravitas,Â HarperÂ thoughtfully examinesÂ theÂ substantiveÂ underpinningsÂ ofÂ howÂ andÂ whyÂ DonaldÂ TrumpÂ wasÂ able toÂ succeedÂ BarackÂ ObamaÂ asÂ PresidentÂ ofÂ theÂ UnitedÂ States,Â andÂ howÂ theseÂ forces areÂ manifestingÂ themselvesÂ inÂ otherÂ westernÂ democracies.Â Â Â Â Â Â AnalyzingÂ internationalÂ trade,Â marketÂ regulation,Â immigration,Â technology,Â and theÂ roleÂ ofÂ governmentÂ inÂ theÂ digitalÂ economy,Â HarperÂ laysÂ outÂ theÂ caseÂ for pragmaticÂ leadershipÂ asÂ aÂ provenÂ solutionÂ toÂ theÂ uncertaintyÂ andÂ riskÂ that businessesÂ andÂ governmentsÂ faceÂ today.
