However, today’s leaders are asked to do more, often with less time, and must be ready to change course at a moment’s notice.

This has proven to be true over the last few years due to disruptive macroeconomic and inflationary pressures, global and social unrest, and obviously, the pandemic.

“We now live in a much more instant, dynamic, and fast-paced world and organisational leadership is reflecting this,” he concluded.
