Abstract

In today's fast-paced world, driven by AI and technological advances, many leaders feel overwhelmed by the challenge of keeping pace with necessary changes while managing daily operations. Maintaining a long-term perspective while quickly adapting to new circumstances driven by competitive pressures requires strategic thinking, organizational adaptability, and resilience.

Emotional intelligence, combined with self-awareness training, is well-known for improving leaders' ability to understand and manage emotions in themselves and others, leading to more effective and resilient teams. However, organizations often need deeper insight into who, when, and why individuals and teams adapt. An organization where people are not adapting will be left behind in a fast-changing market, as organizations can only adapt if their people do.

Increasing the Adaptability Intelligence (AQ) of individuals, teams, and the organization will empower leaders and teams to embrace change and navigate uncertainty at all levels. Leaders who foster a mindset of proactivity, continuous learning, and unlearning old habits represent the next generation of leaders, facilitating an innovative, driven environment.

The good news is that AQ is measurable and can be developed over time through the right training and coaching of an organization's people.

In this presentation, we will provide insights into the competencies required for next-generation leaders and explore how these skills can help guide organizations through transformation, fostering proactive, collaborative, and resilient teams in a rapidly evolving landscape.
