Henley BusinessClass: Tomorrow's leadership
What should today’s leaders offer for tomorrow’s world?
Leadership makes a clear difference to how organisations perform. The difference between good and poor leadership becomes particularly evident when times are tough. Today’s leadership challenges cannot be met with yesterday’s methods. Most current ideas about leadership have their origins in the 19th and 20th centuries when the world was a very different place and when hero leadership was common. Nowadays, we know that individuals are never likely to be complete leaders but many organisations’ leadership development approach still reflects the same old focus on individuals.
In this BusinessClass, Dr. David Pendleton, Professor in Leadership at Henley Business School, will introduce a new approach to leadership that has been created in and for the 21st century. It shows how complete and effective leadership can be created from incomplete leaders working in teams made up of complementary and different individuals.
In addition, we will look into what kind of individuals are required for tomorrow’s leadership. Digitalisation has a major impact on today’s work. We are living in a world where the ways of working and the work itself are constantly changing. This brings many opportunities, challenges and needs for change – both for companies and for individuals. Companies are fighting hard for the best talents and many individuals are facing the need to find new skills or career paths. Minna Vanhala-Harmanen, CEO of Barona, will talk about how not only to get the best people but also help employees to develop to meet the future requirements for their work.
This is an opportunity for experienced executives and professionals to consider their own approach to leadership and the ways in which employees may best be developed in their organisations and teams.
