Leadership for the Future: Passing the Torch

Chapter Chapter 7 in Next Generation Leadership, 2010, pp 141-151 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Leadership is on the national and local agenda in a way that it has not been for some time. In 2008, the presidential candidates continually spoke about leadership and their personal views on what kind of leaders they would be. All this suggests that the leadership patterns that we will see in the future will look quite different from that practiced by many individuals who held leadership positions in the past. Leadership also is on the agenda because more than ever people realize that for organizations to be successful in the future, they must discover and develop human talent. Find those high potentials, engage them and retain them is the message. Knowledge assets are the ones that will count. Managing talent is the mantra for the future and that will be one of the major roles of a leader.1
