The way we develop leaders is changing. Traditional classroom-style training is giving way to more personalized, experiential learning. Think virtual reality simulations, on-the-job coaching, and mentorship programs.
The focus is shifting from teaching specific skills to developing the mindsets and behaviors that make great leaders. This includes things like resilience, adaptability, empathy, and the ability to navigate complexity. The goal is to create leaders who are not just prepared for today's challenges but are ready for whatever the future may bring.
