I found this Forbes article by John Bremen entitled 2021 In Review: Leadership Lessons from Delta, Omicron, The Great Resignation, and Climate Impact.
In it, he shared ideas around the new focus for leaders. He describes it as being future-focused and defined ten aspects of that emergent posture.
Adopt a new mindset with risk.
Commit to elastic innovation.
Drive purpose AND profit.
Use flexibility as an advantage.
Get real about remote and hybrid work.
Focus on employee wellbeing and organizational resilience.
Lead with empathy, compassion, and transparency.
Understand that treating people fairly doesn’t mean treating them the same.
Stay focused on talent during crisis.
Support ESG and sustainability (environment, social, governance factors).
