Futurist, Jacob Morgan explains that human resources is evolving into more than just hiring and firing and has a huge impact on the employee experience and the future of work.
What does it take to be a successful leader?
The answer to that question was likely different 10 years ago and even just one year ago. The world of work is continually changing, which impacts the environment in which leaders lead. The COVID pandemic has shown just how volatile and uncertain the world is and caused many leaders to reevaluate their skills and mindsets. In many ways, the pandemic acted as a catalyst for many trends and greatly increased their impact. To succeed in the future, leaders have to be aware of what is happening in the world around them and how things are changing.
From their input and my additional research, I distilled six trends that are setting the foundation for the future of work and the future of leadership. If the past year has shown us anything, it’s the value of being adaptable and paying attention to how the world is changing. Even if you aren’t currently in a leadership role, you can prepare now to be a future leader. Taking action now not only gives you the skills to lead but also creates opportunities and makes you a sought-after professional. That action starts by knowing how leadership and the world is changing.
