Forbes; by William Arruda; 6/22/25
We’re living in a very different world. Just since Covid, many of the norms of business have evolved, making the workplace almost unrecognizable. AI is taking over (or at least it feels that way). There are more different generations working side-by-side, each with their own needs, expectations, and styles. Hybrid and remote work are making life more manageable for some, while at the same time reducing the sense of connection and belonging that many of us get from work. And we haven’t even touched on the geopolitical events that are impacting virtually every industry and role. All of these changes are having a major impact on leadership. [Key points include:]

• Leadership is in crisis
• The antidote to stress, distrust, uncertainty, and loneliness is authentic leadership
• Enhance your authentic leadership skills
• Focus on social skills in leadership development
• Build authentic leadership modules into learning experiences
• Help employees design their own training paths
• Deliver programs to make tech-heavy activities easier to master
• Build leadership programs for teams to engage together
• The new world of work requires a new style of leadership – authentic leadership
