Any leader will need to prepare today for tomorrow’s
challenges in the world. We are in a new era in the world that requires a new kind
of leader to be able to adapt to quick changes. We no longer deal with proud soldiers
wearing shiny uniforms proudly defending their country but are now in a world
of cowardly warriors who are hidden in your neighborhoods and act as your
friend till the enemy will one day chop off your head. This new leader needs to have the ability to
change and adept quickly with an eye on the future or you may be doomed to be
remaining a prisoner of the past ways.
With an eye on the future a smart leader will be able to
welcome the 21st Century innovations, be able to embrace change and
thrive on the chaos that change often brings. The 21st Century leader recognizes
that only the smartest will survive the future challenges. We can’t hold back
the forces of change. We can’t deny that our society and the very nature of
business is changing daily. Yet some leaders resist change and then find them
fighting the forces of change around them. Global finance is redefining
business in a virtual borderless world. In light of all these changes the world
will need leaders who are familiar with the global ways and comfortable with
dealing with all the different customs and traditions that are still prevailing
in regions all over the globe.
It is the leaders that will be
the glue that will hold together the organization. Their intelligence and above
all their ability to adapt will be of their most importance. The 21st
Century is a time of great challenges, opportunities, profits, innovation and
imagination. A leader’s openness to change and ability to take risks, ability
to have wisdom is an asset. The 21st Century is a place in which
involves scientific change. We ultimately want a leader with a smile. Someone
who shows us confidence, power and who can ultimately assure us safety, peace
and prosperity in our homes.
The
future is always uncertain. Our creator made us to be able to remember things
that happened when we were 4 years old but yet none of us can accurately know
what will happen in just a moment from now. A secure leader has to be open minded
and wise to whatever challenge will happen at a moment’s notice. Our leader
will need a strategy to be able to navigate through uncertain times. Remaining cautiously
optimistic is not enough. A 21st Century leader needs a 21st
Century strategy. Regardless of how chaotic, confused or stressful the 21st
Century leader will be since we are still all human so far, he or she needs to
constantly be prepared for the possible challenges they might face in the near
future. The world keeps a constant eye on who is leading parts of land masses.
Everyone is watching everyone else.
