Leading Tomorrow’s Organizations, Summer 2014

With each leap in technology and corresponding advancement of civilization, the optimal forms of organization and leadership also change. Through this lens, the author argues there is a strong link between the rise of the modern organization and the transition from a classical paradigm of leadership to a new formula for leading tomorrow’s organizations. According to the author, the main challenge for organizational management today is to facilitate environments that inspire and engage people. Essential components of such an environment are fairness and transparency, the offering of autonomy, opportunities for self-development, and engagement around a purpose beyond merely making profits.
