In today’s business world, innovation is the key to success. However, many executives feel unprepared to capitalize on new growth opportunities, and are instead focusing on maintaining business continuity. This means that investments in innovation are falling short. Business leaders need to be vigilant in looking for new ways to innovate because they cannot always rely on old solutions. But even the best technology cannot do any good if you do not have the right people in place and the leadership skills to steer your team towards success.

As stakeholder expectations, global execution complexity, the need for digital transformation, and the need of innovation for long-term success have all grown, leadership has gotten more difficult. While the global economy continues to fluctuate, employees are turning more and more to their business leaders for guidance. Many companies think that managing talent is all about money and promotions. But what is really important is a leader who has the skills to create a work environment where employees feel valued and can be their own bosses, while at the same time managing business expectations.
In this inspiring panel discussion, our speakers will explore the skills necessary for a current leader, how to effectively communicate the company strategy in a disruptive environment, and how to lead in a situation where change is inevitable.
