Rethinking Leadership Development: The Future Competencies for Work
Charlotte Kemp Overview:
Leadership is evolving-and development must evolve with it. In this webinar, we examine the core competencies that will define successful leadership in the years ahead. Drawing on insights from futures thinking, behavioural science, and emerging workplace trends, we’ll unpack how organisations can nurture capabilities like foresight, adaptability, and systems thinking to future-proof their leadership pipelines.
