The Leaders We Need and Why We Don’t Have Them
Why don't we have the leaders we need today? This episode breaks down the essential traits emerging leaders must master, starting with the ability to set a clear vision and connect it to strategic thinking. Beyond hard skills, we emphasize the often-overlooked necessity of self-reflection and emotional intelligence to navigate today's complex world of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA). We argue that true growth is a product of forming (being encouraged) and forging (enduring sustained hardship), which is necessary to build the adaptability and resilience now cited as a top leadership trait. We also confront the alarming burnout rates in fields like education and non-profits, concluding that to cultivate better leaders, organizations must prioritize high expectations with high support—including time for recovery—to ensure they thrive, not just survive.
