In an era of unprecedented global challenges, our world faces a “polycrisis” – a perfect storm of interconnected crises that amplify each other’s impacts. This groundbreaking paper delves into the critical leadership capabilities required to navigate this complex landscape.

Are traditional leadership approaches sufficient for tackling climate change, pandemics, economic instability, and social upheaval simultaneously? Our research suggests not. We’ve identified six key themes of leadership capabilities essential for effectively steering through the turbulent waters of a polycrisis:

1. Complex Problem-Solving
2. Collaboration and Relationships
3. Transformative Leadership
4. Inclusivity and Ethics
5. Inner Capabilities
6. Future Orientation

But identifying these capabilities is just the beginning. How do we develop leaders equipped to handle such multifaceted challenges? Our paper explores new approaches to leadership development, challenging conventional wisdom and proposing a paradigm shift in how we prepare leaders for an increasingly complex world.

From rethinking organizational learning to prioritizing wellbeing and inclusivity, this paper offers a roadmap for cultivating the kind of leadership our world desperately needs. Whether you’re a seasoned executive, an emerging leader, or simply concerned about our collective future, this paper provides vital insights for anyone looking to make a meaningful impact in these turbulent times.
