Overview: Leadership expectations are expanding, but the support around leaders has not always kept pace. This edition of CMC Quarterly explores what today’s leadership reality means for individuals, teams and organizations, with research and practical perspectives on leadership, organizational alignment and AI.
CMC Quarterly: Rethinking Leadership for the Reality of Work
Leadership today looks very different than it did even a few years ago.
Work increasingly crosses teams and reporting lines. Leaders are navigating greater complexity, adapting to new technologies and taking on responsibilities that extend beyond their formal roles. At the same time, they are still expected to develop people, maintain strategic focus and keep work moving.
This edition of CMC Quarterly looks at what organizations and leaders can do to respond.
