New-School Leadership: The LEADERSHIP Framework

Making a Difference in the 21st Century

PROMENA’s 5th Annual Virtual Publishing Summit August 17, 2026

D.A. Abrams’ flagship keynote maps the shift from old-school command-and-control management to new-school, purpose-driven leadership. Built around the proprietary LEADERSHIP model — ten traits that spell the word itself, from Lifelong Learner to the Platinum Rule — the presentation gives leaders a practical roadmap for influence, empathy, and enrollment-based leadership in a remote, AI-accelerated, human-centered era.
