Today’s CEOs face a business environment that is becoming increasingly complicated to read and adapt to.
Concerns of Global CEOs in data*:
- Concerns about over-regulation are still the highest by 79% of CEOs.
- Geopolitical uncertainty meanwhile has become the second highest by 74%.
- Social instability is named by 65 % of CEOs as a concern, as a result of conflicts all over the world and increased threats of terrorist attacks.
- 61% of CEOs are concerned about cyber threats.
- 66% of CEOs see more threats today.
- CEOs are less confident with the revenue growth globally. So the outlook is pessimistic. There is a decline in confidence related to growth.
Focus of Global CEOs*:
- 76% of CEOs define business success by more than financial profit.
- Addressing rapidly changing customer expectations by using technology.
- Focusing on technology and innovation.
- Aligning talent strategies because 72% is worried about the availability to the right skills and only 50% is focusing on how to develop leadership pipeline.
So the very question is what it takes to lead in such a complicated time in your organisation, in your industry sector, in your competency field and in your country.
- How to prepare an organisation for such volatile market?
- How to be prepared to lead in such a volatile and uncertain economic conditions and social instability?
- What does success mean for you nowadays? Is all about ‘me’ or is it about ‘we’ as well?
- How can you be a ‘Trusted Executive’ today, when distrusts, misleading, fraud, lies are pouring from the media?
- How can you unleash creativity and innovation in your team and in your organisation in order to enhance your competitive advantage?
- How do you role model leadership development? Or you think you don’t need to change?! How can you afford to be unchanged in VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) era?
Be the change to lead the change.
