Miami's Tech Future (D): Developing New Leadership

Format:Print
| Language:English
| Pages:10

Abstract

Traditional establishment leadership of Miami is increasingly challenged by a rising millennial generation that is more diverse and brings more innovative and entrepreneurial “outside-the-building” approaches, including impatience for change. Leadership succession is already underway, with examples of increased activism and cross-sector collaboration, as well as a new millennial mayor of the central city who declares entrepreneurship to be Miami’s strength and national advantage. But there is a consensus that Miami is only a short way along its path to transformation to become the city of future opportunity. Is it essential that networks become more open and inclusive, to find new sources of leadership talent?
