Much of the leadership in organizations was learned from the Military, and during the 20th century, autocratic leadership was often the norm. In autocratic systems, management is the key decision maker. Today, autocratic leadership is a non-starter. The landscape for leadership is rapidly changing with 5 generations in the workforce, more diversity, supply chain outsourcing, faster product life cycles, automation, and globalization, to name a few. Business is more volatile and rapidly changing than ever before, and organizations need to be ever more adaptive. Join us for an open and exploratory discussion of how leadership is and needs to change, and why.
