S7-Ep2: The Future Leader - Skills & Mindsets to Succeed in the Next Decade

Guest: Jacob Morgan

There has been a lot written about leadership for the present day, but the world is changing quickly. What worked in the past won’t work in the future – so how do we prepare leaders who can successfully navigate and guide us through the next decade and beyond?

What’s required of leaders, even the types of leaders we need, is in flux. So what can a struggling leader do now?

Jacob Morgan wondered, as well, so he interviewed over 140 CEOs, then partnered with LinkedIn to survey almost 14,000 of their members around the globe to see how those CEO insights aligned with employee perspectives. He uncovered some fascinating insights, and shares them in this episode.

Here's what Jacob and Maureen cover:

• The undeniable reality that pre-pandemic leadership isn’t going to cut it in this post-pandemic decade;
• Why these changes are happening; and
• The four mindsets and five behaviors to develop as a leader for tomorrow.
