338. The Leadership Trends That Are Holding You Back (And What Works Instead)

Many leaders find it difficult to keep up with the pace of change. And you may be feeling as though that the world is changing faster than it ever has…  If you pay attention to mainstream leadership theory, you’ll often hear that, if you want to have any hope of keeping up in our rapidly evolving world, you need to change the way you lead. But, do you?The more I see, the more I’m convinced that the fundamental principles of leadership are timeless. Sometimes, though, it’s hard not to get distracted by the latest leadership and business fads - they draw your attention away from tried and tested principles, with the promise of showing you an easier way.In this episode, I look at one of the more recent articles on the changing nature of leadership, from one of the more credible sources. The McKinsey article, The art of 21st-century leadership, gives us a window into what the top leaders around the world are thinking.I also give you a couple of practical examples for how to apply your tried and trusted leadership skills to the new world situations you’re going to face in the 21st Century.What You’ll Learn in This Episode:✅ Why leadership fads are so attractive (and why they don’t last)✅ The timeless leadership fundamentals that never change✅ A breakdown of McKinsey’s latest leadership trends—and whether they matter✅ How to lead Gen Z without falling for the latest corporate buzzwords✅ How to apply core leadership principles to today’s challenges✅ The #1 leadership tool that will always drive team performance ————————Get the insider edge with the No Bullsh!t Leadership Hub on Skool - completely FREE!Join like-minded leaders who love the podcast and dive into exclusive resources, real conversations, and weekly challenges designed to sharpen your leadership game.Don’t miss out, join now!————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally. Your boss wants more with less.
