Leadership skills now and future

June 2022 Tom Peters Times In this issue: The Future of Leadership Leadership Skillset Tom's Tweets The Future of Leadership "It was pure, raw, unmitigated fun." This is how Tom described his recent conversation with Tanveer Naseer and Jim Kouzes. Tanveer interviewed Tom and Jim, who have known and respected one another since working together at Tom's consulting company in the '80s and '90s. Jim became a thought leader and educator, coauthoring The Leadership Challenge. Tanveer guides them through a discussion of the challenges leaders are facing today, including whether leaders should embrace hybrid work opportunities and the importance of extreme empathy. This fun conversation even dips into the future of work and we hope you'll laugh as much as Tom, Jim, and Tanveer did. [Listen Now]( Leadership Skillset “Leading is not ephemeral woo-woo.
