As business leaders, we are stepping into an era where the role of a #CEO extends far beyond managing a company. #Geopolitics, #ClimateChange, and #AI are reshaping our world, and the expectation is clear: CEOs must lead the charge in addressing these global challenges. In this latest report, 80% of global CEOs recognize that their responsibilities now include shaping solutions with governments and stakeholders, particularly around climate and technology. The question is no longer whether to engage, but how. #leadership Egon Zehnder

To thrive in this chaotic new world, organizations need leaders with inner strength, character, and a moral compass. Recently, my colleagues, Thomas Buberl, Bill George, Nitin Nohria, and I met with a group of CEOs of major international companies. Our focus was to discuss how to lead in the context of the multiple, intersecting crises the world is facing — from geopolitical conflicts to environmental disasters, deepening political and social fractures, disrupted value chains, and disruptive technological change. Our conclusion: leaders need to aim higher than simply withstanding or responding to these seemingly never-ending shocks. Leaders must instead ensure their team and their organizations can thrive in this new environment. Here are six strategies we discussed for accomplishing this: 1. Take care of yourself 2. Lead by values 3. Seeing opportunities 4. Rethink your higher purpose 5. Redefine winning 6. Create energy Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/dFDmmy6t #UnleashingHumanMagic #LeadershipIn2024

Awesome advice for leaders in a VUCA world.

Adapt or Step Aside In today's fast-paced business world, the role of leaders is evolving rapidly. Recent data shows a striking trend: CEO tenure is shrinking, while demands on leadership are growing exponentially. Key findings from a 2023 study: - Average CEO tenure has dropped to 5.3 years, down from 8.0 years a decade ago - 72% of newly appointed CEOs come from outside the company, up from 58% in 2013 - 40% of Fortune 500 CEOs now have a technology background, compared to just 17% in 2010. The accelerating pace of technological change and digital transformation is forcing all to adapt. Companies are prioritizing leaders who can navigate disruption and drive innovation. To aspiring and current executives: 1. Embrace continuous learning, especially in emerging technologies 2. Cultivate adaptability and resilience 3. Build diverse skill sets that span traditional business acumen and digital literacy Business is evolving and as I wrote in my book, "Future Proof selling" business is changing and everyone needs to adapt to reach success.

🚨 Don't Fall Victim to Stagnation In the dynamic landscape of business, it's easy to get comfortable with the status quo. However, ignoring market trend changes can spell disaster for even the most established companies. As the saying goes, "doing the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of insanity." There's a fine line between calculated risk-taking and reckless behaviour. While innovation and experimentation are essential for growth, blindly persisting with strategies that have consistently underperformed can lead to severe consequences. It's essential to assess the risks associated with your actions and make informed decisions based on data and market insights. As leaders, it's our responsibility to foster a culture of agility and adaptability within our organizations. Encourage open dialogue, welcome diverse perspectives, and empower your teams to embrace change proactively. Remember, it's not about abandoning what's worked in the past—it's about evolving and staying relevant in an ever-changing landscape. #MarketTrends #RiskMitigation #Innovation #BusinessStrategy #Adaptability #Leadership #LinkedInPost

What makes a great leader in today’s world? It’s not their technical expertise. It’s not their ability to hit quarterly targets. It’s not even their years of experience. It’s their ability to see the world through someone else’s eyes. We’re living in a time when businesses must navigate unprecedented complexity. Markets shift overnight. Customer expectations are evolving faster than ever. Employees want to feel heard, valued, and connected. Yet...... ..... so many leaders are stuck in outdated paradigms, relying on strategies that worked in a different world. And they just can't bring themselves to stop seeing the world from their own perspectives. Looking at the world from the inside, out. But here’s the truth: The leaders who will thrive are those who embrace empathy, adaptability, and humanity. And are able to see things from the outside, in. And I've seen the power of this transition with my own eyes. I've seen what happens when people make that switch. Every year, for the last 2 decades, all of us at TIE Leadership have seen what happens when leaders rewire how they think and act. By stepping into someone else’s shoes they discover new perspectives. They unlock innovative solutions. And they create cultures where people don’t just show up—they thrive. This is what happens when leaders prioritise connection, collaboration, and courage over ego, bureaucracy, and outdated norms. And here’s the good news: When leaders choose to lead with humanity, it’s not just good for people. It’s better for business. I like to call this a Return On Humanity. So here’s a question to reflect on: What’s one step you can take this week to lead with more humanity? I’d love to hear your thoughts. 💬 #Leadership #Empathy #ReturnOnHumanity #TIELeadership
