Covid-19, as well as the rapid development of digital technologies, Brexit and environmental issues are all catalysts for an anticipated change in priorities in the next five to 10 years. It is predicted that innovation and more compassionate leadership will take centre stage, according to a new study released today, ‘Future Trends in Leadership & Management – shifting priorities’, from The Institute of Leadership & Management.
