Are your leaders ready to rumble?

There’s a world of upheaval on the horizon for business leaders. Back to work plans need to be devised, deployed and – depending on where your office is located – even delayed or re-devised. Ambitious transformation agendas that may have started pre-pandemic have been amplified in importance and accelerated through the pandemic. Your employees are mentally and physically exhausted and looking to their leaders for motivation and support. Your leaders are similarly exhausted. And the pandemic – that relentless presence in all our lives – shows no sign of abating.

The pandemic has exposed pre-pandemic shortcomings in key talent management functions as they relate to leadership development and succession and is threatening a seismic shift in the leadership ranks of most companies. It is leading some individual leaders to choose earlier than planned retirement and exposing others as bad fits for current and future challenges.
