Why the future of leadership depends on a mindset shift, from skills and capabilities to personal characteristics and behaviours.
When discussing what it takes to be a good leader, conversations are frequently centred around the skills required to perform the role, but there is little collectively discussed about the characteristics and behaviours that need to sit alongside these skills. Living in a complex and developing environment, it is now more important than ever to be a thoughtful and impactful leader.

It’s hard to believe that it has been 3 years since we launched The Zebra Project with the purpose of exploring the future world of work. So much has changed since our launch and, even in the face of (and partly because of ) a global pandemic, so much progress has been made against the principles we set out with at the beginning of the project.
