Higher order thinking and creative problem solving are the new skills in demand in the 21st Century. That calls for a 𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐃 𝐎𝐅 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐒. Left directed thinking still matters in society but its not enough. Today we are moving into an era in which right-directed thinking will increasingly determine who gets ahead. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩: Traditionally, left-directed thinking, which is associated with analytical, logical, and critical thinking, has been highly valued. However, right-directed thinking, associated with creativity, intuition, and emotional intelligence, is becoming increasingly important. In today's rapidly changing world, both left-directed and right-directed thinking are crucial for effective leadership. Leaders who can combine analytical skills with creativity, empathy, and intuition will be better equipped to navigate complex challenges and inspire others. The next generation of leaders must engage and interact with each others in new and innovative ways. 2. 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩: 1. 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 As Simon Sinek's "Start with Why" has popularized, understanding and articulating a company's purpose is crucial for attracting and retaining talent, especially now. While income remains a significant factor, Millennials and Gen Z often prioritize companies that align with their values and offer a sense of meaning and contribution. Studies have shown that organizations with a clear purpose and strong social impact tend to be more successful in attracting top talent and achieving long-term growth. Young people are more likely to go the extra mile and put in greater effort when they believe in the company's mission and understand how their work contributes to that mission. A strong sense of purpose can lead to higher levels of productivity. 2. 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝. Putting on a façade can only sustain for a brief period, and recovering from being disingenuous as a leader is challenging. New generation expects transparency and authenticity. By being vulnerable and honest about one's own shortcomings, leaders can not only gain young people's trust, but also inspire them to embrace their own imperfections and continuously strive for personal growth.
