"What is required of the leaders of the future?"

Leaders of the future will face new demands than in the past. As a manager, you must be able to adapt more quickly to new situations, different teams and different types of people. Too many companies today live according to established routines and base everyday life on "this is how we have always done it. That doesn't work if you want to keep up with the times. We are facing an evolution, and it is becoming more complex and turbulent - we are moving into new and unknown terrain. Where many people used to walk on well-trodden paths, the road has to be made as you go, and sometimes you have to go down a steep hill.
