How to be a strong leader in the changing world of work

After two years of unprecedented change, leaders need to re-examine their approach to being more effective. Success lies in the ability to adapt.

While the workplace has changed significantly over the past few years, great leadership remains paramount to success. Despite everything, the core tenets of leadership remain consistent with those of the pre-pandemic world. However, leaders cannot – and have not – stood still. Alistair Dornan, director of people experience consulting at Gallagher explains: “Understanding new ways of working, such as hybrid working and employees’ needs, will help leaders become more adept at building their teams and assist with engagement and productivity and ultimately help make people feel different about work.” He adds: “Leaders need to support flexibility, manage change, drive innovation and mitigate risks. Even if these traits are not new, the urgency of the challenge facing leaders certainly is.”
