Organizations must empower leaders to change their ways of working to succeed in a new digital economy.  The 2020 Future of Leadership Global Executive Study and Research Report, "The New Leadership Playbook for the Digital Age: Reimagining What It Takes to Lead,” finds that leaders may be holding on to behaviors that might have worked once but now stymie the talents of their employees.

Executives around the world are out of touch with what it will take to win, and to lead, in the digital economy. Digitalization, upstart competitors, the need for breakneck speed and agility, and an increasingly diverse and demanding workforce require more from leaders than what most can offer.

The authors of the report surveyed 4,394 global leaders from more than 120 countries, conducted 27 executive interviews, and facilitated focus-group exchanges with next-gen emerging leaders worldwide. The findings are as sobering as they are inspiring.
