Marking the dawn of a new decade, 2020 was already poised to redefine what type of leader would be successful in this next era. With the pivot through COVID, this has been further refined, impacting every person sitting in the CEO seat and definining the careers of those who aspire to this level of service.
During the Great Recession, we saw many who had planned for retirements change their lives and professional strategies to recoup the unexpected losses of economic implosion. We’ve had a decade of recovery only to find ourselves, not only overdue for a bear market, but now forced into what may be a very lengthy redefining of business and industry, thanks to COVID. While many factors were already poised to fundamentally change professions and industries in the 2020s, some of those have now accelerated and thrust us into a revolution instead of an evolution. As discussions of “to what degree” and whether there will be any “going back to” play out, there is most certainly a shift in counsel necessary with regard to preparing to be the leader of a profession or industry association throughout this next decade.
