Ever feel like there is a gap between the leadership you need and the leaders that are available? ??
I do. And it's getting worse.
I'm fascinated by leadership, but lately, I've become increasingly concerned.
The gap between the leadership skills organisations need and the leadership talent that's available seems to be widening.
That gap is developing because the business operating model of this decade is changing fast.
Just take a moment to think about a few megatrends that we are all living through now;
#Rapid technological advancements: The pace of change is relentless ??, requiring leaders to adapt quickly and make decisions in uncharted territory.
#Shifting workforce demographics: We have a multi-generational workforce with vastly different expectations and communication styles.
#Information overload: Leaders are bombarded with information ??, making it difficult to discern what's truly important.
#Erosion of trust: In an era of misinformation and skepticism ??, building and maintaining trust is harder than ever.
#Remote work and distributed teams: Leading remote teams requires a different skill set than managing in-person teams, and many leaders haven't yet mastered these new approaches. ????
#Leadership training is still based on 20th-century manufacturing principles that were developed in a world where change was slow and predictable??.
No wonder many leaders feel underprepared. No wonder many employees feel their is a gap in what they need rom their leaders and what is being provided.
So 'm super excited to announce my upcoming webinar, "Bridging the Leadership Gap," featuring the incredible Dean of Henley Business School, Jon Foster-Pedley.
We'll be debating whether there is indeed a leadership gap and what practical steps can be taken to fix it. We'll explore the essential skills and mindsets – like adaptability, cross-generational communication, and strategic thinking – that bridge the gap between what's taught in theory and what's actually required on the ground.
I'll also be asking directly whether today's crop of leaders are just too soft and caring to lead effectively.
I'm also looking forward to discussing topics like emotional intelligence ??, building trust ??, and fostering a culture of collaboration within teams. These are critical elements that are often overlooked, but they're essential for creating a high-performing and engaged workforce, especially in today's climate.
