Learning as an adult can be challenging. Leaders need to foster an environment of psychological safety among its workforce that is in the midst of re-skilling itself.
It helps if leaders increase their levels of humility and empathy, focusing more on enabling the best in the employees.
In business today, there's a growing trend toward agile leadership: a focus on fast decision making, short-term goals, and the empowerment of individuals.

Leadership development continues to be a significant challenge for companies around the world, as the transition to the new digital organization creates even larger leadership gaps. High-performing leaders today need different skills and expertise than in generations past, yet most organizations have not moved rapidly enough to develop digital leaders, promote young leaders, and build new leadership models.
