Synopsis

The tumultuous changes of the past decade, including China’s economic rise and the financial meltdown, were just the beginning. The next cataclysmic wave is surging relentlessly ahead, demanding leaders who can steer their companies through complexity and change.

Drawn from original research conducted jointly with foresight company Z-Punkt and further analyzed by Hay Group, Leadership 2030 uncovers six megatrends that will dramatically impact organizations’ markets, cultures, systems, and processes:

1. Globalization 2.0: Asia dominates the global economy.

2. Climate change: Sustainability becomes imperative.

3. Individualism: Freedom of choice erodes loyalty.

4. Digitization: Boundaries blur between private and working lives.

5. Demographic changes: Aging populations intensify the talent war.

6. Converging technologies: The sharpest tech shift in history is around the corner.

Research findings and case studies provide compelling evidence of each megatrend and highlight the skills, capabilities, and attitudes leaders must cultivate, such as adaptability, collaboration, cultural sensitivity, strategic thinking, meaning creation, and more. In the rush to produce quarterly profits in chaotic conditions, the longer view is often obscured. This forward-thinking book helps businesses everywhere prepare for the seismic changes on the horizon.

About this title

Review:

"Leaders wondering if their three- and five- year plans (and beyond) are sustainable will find answers in this insightful read." --T+D magazine

From the Back Cover:

Twenty years ago, the Internet was not yet commercialized. Desktop computers were the hot new tools. China was an isolated country that exported trinkets.

Today, connectivity to customers, suppliers, and workers scattered across the globe is ubiquitous. Economic troubles in one region lash the others. China is on the brink of overtaking the United States as the world's largest economy.

And tomorrow? Are you ready to steer your organization through the next tumultuous era of complexity and change? Are you developing the skills, capabilities, and attitudes required of leaders in the decades ahead?

Leadership 2030 provides a detailed, wide-ranging picture of the most dramatic megatrends now reshaping organizations and impacting markets, cultures, systems, and processes. Informed by foresight analysis, case studies, original research, extensive conversations, and the leadership findings gathered by the international Hay Group, Leadership 2030 brings clarity to the global challenges ahead:

- Economic power is shifting to Asia, creating fearsome competition.

- Demographic pressures are escalating the war for talent.

- Deteriorating environmental conditions are putting financial stressors on organizations.

- Freedom of choice is eroding loyalty.

- Boundaries are blurring between private and working lives.

- Nanotechnology and biotechnology are merging, triggering the sharpest tech shift in history.

Leadership 2030 ties together the interlocking effects of each megatrend on the business environment, highlighting new strategies and new leadership skills required to survive. In the rush to produce quarterly profits in chaotic conditions, the longer view is often obscured. This expansive, forward-thinking book helps businesses everywhere prepare for the seismic changes taking shape on the horizon.
