As we attempt to transition into a networked creative economy, we need leaders who promote learning and who master fast, relevant, and autonomous learning themselves. There is no other way to address the wicked problems facing us. If work is learning and learning is the work, then leadership should be all about enabling learning. In a recent Deloitte study, Global Human Capital Trends 2015, 85% of the respondents cited learning as being either important or very important. Yet, according to the study, more companies than ever report they are unprepared to address this challenge.

This post was one in a series of perspectives by presenters and participants in the 7th Global Drucker Forum. The post suggests that Leaders that stay on top of society’s changes do so by being receptive and able to learn. Sustaining a competitive advantage through people that know how to build relationships, seek information, make sense of observations and share ideas.
An interesting post that considers how leaders can hope to manage complexity and get comfortable with living in a state of continually becoming in an ever-changing world.
