Over the past 16 months I interviewed over 140 CEOs around the world from companies like Audi,
MasterCard, Unilever, Best Buy, Oracle, Kaiser, Verizon, and dozens of others. This was all done as part
of research for my new book, The Future Leader, which examines what it will take to be a leader in
2030 and beyond. One of the questions I asked all of these CEOs was around the greatest trends
shaping the future of leadership.
These are the six trends that identify what will play a major role in shaping future leaders over the next decade and beyond. It's
true that we are seeing these in action today but over the next ten years they will be front and center.

AI and Technology
When I asked CEOs what they viewed as the biggest trends impacting leadership, the most common answer I received was the
growth of artificial intelligence and technology. It is no secret that technology is evolving at a breathtaking pace. Artificial intelligence
has the power to completely transform how businesses operate and people work. But with the excitement of AI and new technology
comes fear and uncertainty. It is up to leaders to assuage those fears by looking for ways to implement AI that adds to employees
instead of replacing their jobs. Leaders need to calm fears and remain positive about new technology. They need to be well-versed
on AI and experiment with new technologies so they can help others understand the potential impact on their jobs.
As Christian Ulbrich, the CEO of JLL, one of the world’s largest commercial real estate firms with almost 100,000 employees around
the world told me. “We will succeed in the digital era only if we engage with enthusiasm and welcome the ideas and opportunities
that digital tools, data analysis, and new technologies will bring.”
Pace of Change
Right alongside the growth of AI and technology is the overall pace of change. How we live and work is drastically di"erent today
from what it was five years ago—let alone 20 or 30 years ago. Change surrounds us in the form of climate change, globalization,
diversity, and dozens of other things. Change is constant and has always happened. What is di"erent about today is the rate at which
change occurs. To be successful, organizations must be constantly looking forward, and leaders must lean in and embrace change
instead of shying away. Future leaders need to be agile, easily adaptable, and comfortable challenging the status quo.
Before he passed away suddenly, I had the opportunity to speak with Bernard Tyson, the former Chairman and CEO of Kaiser, which
is one of America’s leading healthcare providers that employees over 200,000 employees. He told me: “Companies of the future can
no longer think that they can just exist … significant companies of the future cannot just exist in this little bread box, in this isolated
place. We are a part of greater society and a greater society is a part of us. I think the trend of when and how we engage in the
bigger societal issues will continue to be a part of the future of leadership.”

Globalization
As technology grows, the world becomes more connected and seems smaller. Each country used to be its own economy, but now
we can work with and communicate instantly with people all over the world. All businesses are now global and have the potential for
worldwide employees and customers. Globalization brings complex geo-political issues and great opportunities to collaborate and
share cultures. Future leaders need to embrace globalization by becoming global citizens who appreciate di"erent cultures and
know how to communicate across cultural and language barriers. Foreign ideas should be viewed as opportunities, not fear-filled
challenges. Leaders of the future need to pay attention to global issues and understand what is happening around the world.
Future-ready leaders need to understand trends and adapt their leadership approach for changes in the way we think, work, and
live. These six trends will be crucial for leaders in coming years.
