While concepts such as ‘agile working’, ‘hot-desking’ and ‘work life balance’ are almost instantaneously digested and implemented by today’s leaders, greater reliance on automation, decentralised processing and AI will judge them by subjective standards for which there is not yet empirical evidence. Leaders will be known as ‘innovators’ and ‘societal disruptors’; expected to shake up the status quo and step outside of the norm. The blueprints from which ancestral leadership has shaped past generations are no longer a point of reference and our leaders of tomorrow are setting courses into the unknown. Guided only by the one known constant they have – change.
