A recent report on executive leadership reveals that conveying a great sense of vision, as well as a knack to anticipate business developments and respond to them in nimble fashion - will be the most critical leadership qualities for executives to cultivate through 2025. Leadership traits that served executives well in the past, such as a talent for boosterism or an ability to get everyone "on the same page", are now taking a backseat. These conclusions arrive after a decade in which the speed and volume of information has skyrocketed, while a rocky economy and globalization have presented a host of unique challenges demanding an overhaul of the leadership skills need to meet them. "Gone are the days where people are seeking a leader who simply embodies great salesmanship and builds consensus among followers" said Michael Kemper, president and CEO of MWW Group. "In today's global world-and due to the perfect storm of economic crisis, unprecedented competition and limited access to capital that we've experienced in recent years - people are longing for leaders who can anticipate, rather than react".
What leadership qualities do think will be essential in the future?
