Synopsis
The past several years have been characterized by relentless change and volatility, impacting individuals, societies and the world of work in inescapable ways. From COVID-19 to social unrest, wars, and technological advances, the world is substantially different from just a few short years ago. The need for effective leadership has never been greater, yet often the leaders we have are not the leaders we need. How leaders navigate these unprecedented times will determine who succeeds and who falls short; that is the focus of this volume. Covering topics such as technology, sociopolitical challenges, compassion and empathy, the chapters help leaders navigate the new world of work and build their adaptability for inevitable future challenges. We bring together a range of perspectives from four dozen experts across the globe, collectively providing thought-provoking, practical insights to guide and enable leaders through the challenges of today and tomorrow.
