The Leadership Domain: New Global Trends Course

Just as we experience the environment, so must the skills needed for leadership have to be changing. More complex and adaptive thinking abilities are needed and leadership skills must be developing fast enough and in the right ways to match the new, more complex, volatile, and unpredictable environment.

There are no simple, existing models or programs, which will be sufficient to meet an increasingly complex future. Instead, an era of rapid innovation will be needed in which organizations experiment with new approaches that combine diverse ideas in new ways. That is the focus of this programme.
