When we hear the word water, an image immediately comes to mind, we know what we are talking about. The same does not happen with the term leadership or when we want to refer to the leader. However, this character plays a fundamental role in cultures and organizations.
Jacob Morgan, a futurist who explores leadership, the future of work and the experience of employees, participated in INCmty where he pointed out the nine skills and mindsets that the leader of the future must have, whom he referred to as "the leader of today" .
Also founder of FutureOfWorkUniversity.com , an online education and training platform that helps individuals and organizations thrive in the changing world of work, he made a comparison between leaders and beacons.
In this regard, he said that the lighthouses have served as a pillar to guide sailors and explorers to their destinations safely. "When I think of a leader I think [of a lighthouse] and that I want you to have in your mind for yourself," he said.
"Your job as a leader is not only to become that lighthouse, but to shine your light on others in your organization and direct it to success," he added, clarifying that a lighthouse without ships at sea is useless, the same as building yourself. as a leader if you don't have people to guide.
In this changing world, in the same way that businesses and organizations change, leadership will experience several changes. How do you lead in a rapidly changing world where it is clear that what worked in the past will not work in the present or the future?
To answer this question, Jacob interviewed more than 140 of the world's top CEOs and interviewed 14,000 employees in partnership with LinkedIn. With this research, he was able to identify a new arsenal of nine skills and mindsets that leaders must possess if they want to guide themselves, their people, and their organizations to success.

Jacob identified four mentalities or mindsets for the leader of the future.
On the other hand, Jacob emphasized the skills that leaders must develop in line with these four mindsets, and that will help unleash the full potential for their teams and organizations:
Jacob emphasized that leaders must step out of the box and break paradigms, as they can no longer see themselves as individual beings at the top; they are a vital gear for teams to function and deliver results.
He also asked INCmty attendees to participate in the FutureLeaderSurvey.com survey.
