More than at any time in the past, leadership is about delivering change. Step one on that journey? To fully recognise that tomorrow will not be a replay of today.
Uncertainty; emerging technology; the challenge of organisational and, with it, leadership agility; the ever-increasing speed of change; and the need to create work that matches capability with opportunity all add up to one undeniable reality.
