The Next 10 Years Will Change Leadership Forever: Are You Prepared?

Success begins with a clear-eyed understanding of the trends that will define the years to?come…

Stuck on how to be the most effective leader?

So, maybe it is their charm or the way they can make a decision quickly on behalf of other people?

While it is critical that we need to get this right, the fact of the matter is that leadership-situational certainly matters in practice.

It is comprehending the world you are living in and maneuvering it with perception, and quickness as well. And as we celebrate a new decade ahead, it is evident that the playing field has changed and leaders must find ways to adjust or risk losing.

Leading in a Changing?World

I think it is fair to say 2020 was a tough year.

The COVID-19 pandemic was not just a health crisis, but an alarm clock in deep sleep that simply shook up all the conventionalities of our existence?—?work lives and leadership inclusive.

The comfortable strategies and plans leaders had huddled around before suddenly stopped working.

The new normal was here; leaders needed to become a fixture of it.

But the thing is: Leadership has always been contextual.

The successful leaders do not just react as they anticipate.

We have peace in a few of our world-class, progressive cities and states because they already know the trends and challenges defining our lives today… which enables them to negotiate with each other.

2020 pandemic was even more of a reminder, that the only constant in life is?change.

What it did was reveal our weaknesses, and prevent us from realizing that more than likely there are other kinds of challenges on the way.

The question is: How will we ready ourselves?

This is a “Brand New Turbulence”; Are You Prepared?

The chaos of the first wave during a pandemic?

We were all trying to wrap our heads around the things and figure out how we could fix it.

This was a stark reminder of the unpredictability in our world.

What if I disagree and say turbulence is the new normal?

More recent surveys of European business leaders suggest the aftershocks from a world crisis are continuing to reverberate. But a few CEOS have already started working on anticipating the potential next wave of disruption.

Their sights are set far beyond standard risk and continuity planning; they’re creating whole-of-enterprise resilience, to remain in business when big looming threats materialize out of nowhere.

Do you have a plan for the next paradigm shift?

What are you doing to make sure your organization can survive the tempest?

Governance in Crisis: The Where You?Stand

There is no secret here that national governments and international organizations alike have been indeed overwhelmed when it came to addressing the challenges of our time?—?pandemics, climate change, social unrest.

Thus, the trust in these institutions has been eroded.

Consequently, many leaders must contend with a reality in which they no longer have the state as their predictable counterpart.

So, what does it mean for you as a leader?

Which means you can no longer rest easy in the comfort of government stability.

Instead, you must be the Chief Enablement Officer—the one who is able to establish an environment of performance in which your team can thrive even when everything else around them has gone mad.

Double-Edged Sword of Modern Technology

The COVID-19 pandemic has heralded the recent exponential growth in digital technology we have all been living through.

We went from Zoom calls to complete online education, and technology saved the day.

BUT?—?should we REALLY depend on technology to solve our MOST COMPLEX challenges?

Though digital tools have transformed how we work, they too come at a cost.

The pandemic made it clear that we do not have AI or ML algorithms = to manage the crisis, but at best they can predict.

As a result, a new form of leadership has emerged that uses technology in combination with an expanded human vision and emotional intelligence.

How well are you using technology in your leadership?

Are you banking on it too much and leaving behind that human element to true innovation?

Consumerism is Dead: What Do You in Have to?Offer?

What changes have you seen lately in consumer behavior?

More and more people are exchanging physical products for experiences but how does this relate to design?

People are growing tired of the empty consumerism that has defined much of our past, and instead turning to what really matters?—?meaningful experiences.

That change is turning our economy from a product-centric model into an experience-oriented one.

This is an opportunity for every leader.

How do you leverage all this experience demand?

How can your firm provide more than commodities; a wellspring of memories, friendships, and even happiness?

Adapt your company’s values as employees experience change…

The pandemic altered not only how we work, but what sort of conditions we are prepared to accept in the workplace.

Employees are searching for autonomy, purpose, and belonging in their work more than ever.

Gen Z wants to work for companies with strong values that are focused on making the planet a better place.

Just not merely a millennial issue…

Leaders need to step up, and older employees are becoming more vocal in their expectations. They demand transparency, equity, and participation in the decision-making process.

Are you prepared to live up to those standards as a leader?

How ready are you to change and build a space where all its members feel honored and their voices count?

What You Should Do Next in the New Context of Leadership

Today, great leadership is not about having all the answers.

It's about the context under which your organization operates and adjusting strategies from there.

The leaders who are the most successful today will be those that no longer forecast the future, but rather co-create it with their team.

This denotes how they challenge their employees by providing purposeful work and connecting the goals of their company with global challenges.

So, what’s your next move?

Question: How will you lead yours through the next fraught and fantastic ten years?

Conclusion: What to Do Now to Build the?Future

The leaders who will succeed over the next decade are those who look beyond today and make companies fit for purpose, resilient &?agile.
