It’s been a year and a half since the
world of work has drastically changed.
From a remote working model to a
hybrid one, a new world of work has
arrived. And for leaders, it’s time to start
addressing a whole new set of leadership
development challenges.
As businesses recover, leadership
development needs to be prioritized.
Leadership assessments are one of the most
valuable tools in the development toolbox.
Companies will need to rethink what they are
assessing and explore new ways to build up
their leaders for success.
It’s no longer about what and who you
need right now, today. Businesses need to
evaluate how their priorities are shifting
and who can help them meet their goals
in years to come. By looking at leadership
candidates and evaluating current leaders, it
is important to determine if they are forward
thinkers. What are the top traits you should
take into account when assessing leaders
in the post-pandemic world? The cover
article by Julie Salmone, 5 Traits To Consider
When Assessing Leaders, talks about the
importance of assessing leaders’ strengths
and weaknesses.
Leadership development has mostly
rested on competency development. But
most competency models are based on
how to alter one’s behaviors and how
others perceive them and not focused
on inner transformation. Check out Dr.
Latha Poonamallee’s article, Going Beyond
Competencies, to learn about the key
leadership needs for the pandemic and
post-pandemic era.
The future of work is heavily augmented with
technology, and leaders need to develop the
right skills to help an organization maintain its
competitiveness both in leading the charge in
upskilling and setting into motion mentoring
and development for their teams. Bert Miller,
through his article, Leadership Skills Of The
Future, talks about the growth mindset that
will help leaders to strategize and pivot while
following the latest trends and innovations.
To game out how leaders are likely to respond
to crisis in the future is to consider what
guides their behavior today. The decision to
lead this way or that is embedded in well-
established habits of leadership. And, what
underpins the habits of leaders is purpose,
says Dr. Wesley Payne McClendon in his
article, Seven Habits Of Leaders In Crisis.
In brief, this issue of Leadership Excellence
includes articles that focus on various
strategies for leaders to navigate recovery
and thrive in the future.
We hope you enjoy reading all the
articles and get back to us with your
valuable feedback.
Happy Reading!
