Become One of Tomorrow's Top Leaders

What qualities and responsibilities will define the most effective leaders of tomorrow? And what skills and knowledge should you attain to become one of those leaders yourself?

Change management.
As markets and technologies shift and advance, organizations and strategies must continually change and adapt. The leaders of the future will need to be masters at managing change.

Deep familiarity with emerging markets.
Tomorrow's leaders will need to identify and seize the new possibilities created as emerging markets take center stage in the global economy.

The ability to inspire and motivate.
In a future marked by constant change, the ability to inspire and motivate others to work together to achieve common goals will be critical. Without alignment, change initiatives stand little chance of success.

Lean management.
They will need to operate in -- and create -- lean, flexible organizations that optimize efficiencies without sacrificing quality.
