Are we failing future leaders?

We recently surveyed 700 HR experts across Europe to understand why we are failing to build leaders fit for the future.

There is no doubt that the world of work is changing and presenting new pressures on our leaders. Whether it’s automation displacing workers, legislative and regulatory changes or simply the changing profile of our workforce, leaders are forced to deal with new challenges from all angles. It’s no wonder that 83% are anticipating an increased focus on workforce transformation in the next three years.

Yet are we keeping up with how we develop our leaders to succeed in this changing environment? Are they ready to lead your organisation into the future? Strategic intervention is required. You cannot expect leaders to organically learn the necessary skills and behaviours needed to take your organisation into the future. Especially when 33% of leaders are not actively driving their own development and career planning.

So what are the brilliant basics that will set a foundation for your leaders combined with new skills for this new age?
