The managers of today, no matter how experienced or knowledgeable, must stay committed to evolving their skill sets and knowledge base. In essence, they need to become perpetual learners.
Managers of Tomorrow
We should create workplaces where everyone is valued and can express themselves without any fear so that they perform their best. Regular feedback will be key for constant and consistent growth.
The present skills, competencies, and capabilities of managers may differ from the expectations organisations have for managers of tomorrow due to the evolving nature of the business landscape.
In tomorrow's world it won't be what managers know that will be important, rather do they know how to leverage the people and the resources at their disposal to deliver what is needed.
Managers should demonstrate the values and behaviours they expect from their teams. Their actions and decisions should reflect a people-centric approach to leadership.
The process of re-skilling and upskilling should be taken as an investment opportunity for the future and not as an expense.
