The Modern Leader: Skills for Success in 2020 and Beyond
Tap the Power of the

Continual innovation. Shifting workforce demographics. Rapidly evolving technology. Volatile global economies. In today’s workplace, a command and control leadership style no longer works. What does?

Leading in the Age of AI

The technological revolution has changed humans’ role in the workplace, which means leaders need to change their approach as well. Here’s how.

1. Embrace Change

Rapid change is the new normal. Leaders who see change as an opportunity stand a better chance of developing successful teams and meeting business goals.

2. Get Flexible

Changing circumstances demand changing approaches. Leaders who practice flexibility can help their teams better accommodate unexpected events and shifting realities.

3. Learn Quickly

The ability to quickly assess new information and make decisions is a must for leaders in the modern era. Seek out new learning opportunities whenever you can.

4. Build Emotional Intelligence

What is your team feeling, and how do you manage it? EQ skills are a must in an era that depends on human curiosity, innovation and sensibility.

5. Use Your Intuition

We increasingly rely on computers to handle the logical, analytical tasks – which means human intuition will be even more valuable. Reading between the lines helps leaders get to the root of problems more quickly.

6. Foster Accountability

Leaders who hold themselves accountable demonstrate the importance of this key skill – and help their teams learn accountability too.

7. Embrace a Vision

Workers increasingly want to know their work has meaning and purpose. Leaders who can communicate the “big vision” foster this sense of value in their teams.

8. Practice Courage

Courage, the ability to proceed in the face of fear or uncertainty, is a skill. Leaders who practice it empower themselves and their teams to face the unknown in a rapidly changing world.

9. Leverage Tech

Leaders who engage with technology conversations can make better choices about the tools their teams will need for success.

10. Collaborate

Past leaders sequestered themselves in the corner office; today’s leaders are in the trenches with their teams. Teach your staff new skills by learning alongside them.

11. Humblebrag

Confidence reassures teams; arrogance alienates them. Develop trust in your team’s abilities, but place them within the larger context of the organization.
