We all live in an increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world. When cultural change abounds, the irony I frequently observe is organisations engage in less leadership development, rather than more. Leaders work in increasingly leaner organisations. They are more diverse, culturally and generationally. Their collaborations may be virtual, and navigating the virtual world brings additional demands and benefits.

It’s a difficult position to be in for almost every new college graduate: how do you get a job with no experience…when every job opening requires a minimum two years of experience? But even “experienced” professionals find themselves in frustrating situations brought about by our collective focus on experience—sometimes they lack enough experience to apply and sometimes they applied, are interviewed, and are then told they’re overqualified.

Isaac Newton is perhaps not the first person you think of when it comes to describing the path ideas take before they drive widespread change, but that’s precisely what new research from Harvard University suggests.

One would imagine that investing is one of those decisions that will be based upon clear and rational criteria, but that often doesn’t appear to be the case when investing in startups. Previous research has shown that gender can play a role, with female entrepreneurs less likely to receive investment than their male peers, and now new research from Stanford highlights how race can also play a part in the way investments are made.

The role of a leader is always evolving, so it makes sense that the traits of a modern-day leader may be different from the leaders of half a century ago. Of course, some traits have remained pretty consistent throughout the years, such as being a role model and having strong communication skills. The following are some of the leadership traits that are important now that might not have been in the past. 1.

Leadership is hard and every decision a leader makes is subject to opinion. Different opinions. Lots of different opinions. Every hard decision a leader makes excites some and upsets others. At the same time, most of us who have positions of leadership want people to like us personally and in our role as a leader. We all like to be liked. This leads many leaders, however, into becoming victims of people-pleasing.
