Video: Making a Paradigm Shift in Leadership Development

The last two years have been among the most challenging for leaders who have had to embrace reinvention and restructuring on a mass scale while maintaining motivation in a hybrid work environment and attending to their own wellbeing.

This event explored how organisations’ expectations around leadership capabilities are shifting. We considered to what degree the new work context demands leadership capabilities that are different to those prioritised and valued historically. We explored what steps we can take to improve the impact of leadership development, to respond to new demands and to best prepare leaders to be effective in unforeseen circumstances.

The event included an innovative immersive virtual reality leadership experience designed to make participants experience leading under uncertainty.

This session was run in partnership with faculty from IMD Business School and built on the accompanying CRF research report.

The comprehensive Post Meeting Notes summarise the event, and the video below features co-authors of the research Gillian Pillans and Winter Nie in conversation on the current leadership context and research findings.
