Abstract

Phase V is all about reinvention and occurs when an extraordinary leader at Phase IV decides to change the nature of the field from which he or she emerged. Very few leaders ever get to Phase V. Those who do become household names: Steve Jobs (technology), Richard Branson (travel), Warren Buffet (value investing), and Elon Musk (travel and innovation-based investing). In each case, transformational leaders end up affecting the lives of millions of people.
