Good morning.
Leadership is an art, not a science, and many of its principles remain unchanged over generations, but most CEOs I speak with today also believe that something has changed in the last decade. The rapid pace of technological change, the wants and needs of a new generation of talent, the demands of a global pandemic, the complexity of reestablishing office work, and the fissures of an increasingly polarized society have combined to create a new template for effective business leadership.
What does that new template look like? That’s the question I explored in a virtual session yesterday with two top human resource leaders—Ellyn Shook, the chief leadership and human resource officer at consulting giant Accenture, and Pat Wadors, chief people officer at UKG, the human resource management company. (UKG sponsored yesterday’s event.)
