Summary

The skills and talents that defined future leaders ten years ago aren’t quite the same as those needed of tomorrow’s leader today. As organisations continue to decentralise, titles and hierarchies are shed for more lateral dotted-line relationships. Technological advances have changed the way companies communicate with their customers and their employees. Developing a leader who can manage today’s challenges across disciplines—and continents—while forecasting for the future is a critical competency in today’s future leader. John Nolan, Senior Vice President, HR – Global Markets at Unilever, discusses talent management and identifying future leaders.
