The need for company flexibility, innovation and new leadership practices is emphasized in business management in a changing operational environment. The role of leaders and supervisors is changing towards the role of an enabler rather than a leader. In the future, leadership should focus more on adjusting functions into the dynamic operational environment in accordance with the needs of the clients, employees and organization.
Megatrends set new expectations for leadership as they affect different industries and companies. The rapid development of technology will radically alter working life. Skills in change leadership are highlighted especially when the future leaders are faced with expectations of being able to swiftly react to the changes in environment, such as the elimination and alteration of certain work duties due to automation. Technological changes are followed by the digitalization of communications, leading to a pressure for the executives to effectively communicate operational goals to other members of the organization with the help of various virtual softwares.
Future working life is also influenced by the generation Y entering it. By 2025, even 75 % of total work force is expected to represent the generation Y. Based on this prediction they will so far be the largest generation entering working life. What matters for the generation Y representatives is the meaningfulness of work instead of working for the necessity. This, in turn, encourages companies to develop their current strategies, organizational cultures, leadership practices as well as reward systems.
