Module Overview:

In this Module, you synthesize your understanding of  the concepts covered in the course and bring it all together to explore  the future of leadership. You will explore trends in leadership, the  workforce, and organizations and discuss the implications going forward.  You will also explore the leadership competencies that must emerge or  evolve for leaders to be effective in the 21st century.

The Future of Leadership

The major trend for the future seems to have two common themes—  bringing back the human dimension into the leadership domain and the  importance of transformational leadership, where the leader focuses on  leading others by creating a motivating environment so that employees  can develop and grow. Current trends have developed in response to the  complex challenges of the 21st century. Current organizations are faced  with a more competitive global market and rapid advancement of  technology and innovation. This demands leaders to be agile and  responsive.

Future trends will present additional leadership challenges as global  markets continue to grow and technologies continue to improve  productivity and work conditions. As multicultural aspects continue to  be incorporated into the workplace and expectations for social  responsibility and sustainable business practices continue to become  more prominent, leaders of tomorrow will have to resolve a variety of  dilemmas.

The approach to meeting these enormous challenges rests in using  people’s knowledge and expertise to enhance organizational performance.  Future leaders will still be required to respond to stakeholders’  expectations and make profitable decisions, but they will need to be  more responsive and willing to adjust to the demands of the entire  workplace situation.

Additionally, leaders in the future will need to remain up to date  with technology and display the ability to incorporate these  technological evolutions into their workplace operations and  communications. Staying up to date with the latest advancements will  enable leaders to be more receptive and open to newer opportunities as  they are presented. Future leaders will thus need to be ready to face  many more challenges than those faced by current leaders.

Instructions:

Both leadership and organizational strategy in the next decade will see  major trends affecting the way organizations conduct business. These  include the deployment of more technology to extend reach and access,  increased globalization, increased diversity, more focus on extended  supply chains, and a more nomadic workforce. In this assignment, you  will consider these trends and analyze how they may impact your selected  organization and what actions are necessary to get ready to address  these trends. 

You have been appointed by your organization (either a hypothetical one  or one you are familiar with) to prepare its Workforce 2020 executive  report.  

The report should be as detailed as possible for the CEO of your  organization. That means it should include the key points of your  research, analysis, and findings. The report should also contain  examples of specific application to your company in a clear, concise,  and informative document.
