Rethinking Leadership for the Reality of Work

Leadership expectations are expanding faster than many organizations’ systems of support. Today’s leaders are being asked to guide teams through complexity, influence across functions, respond to disruption, develop talent and maintain strategic focus, often while taking on responsibilities outside their formal roles.

This edition of AMA Quarterly examines how organizations can close the gap between what they expect from leaders and the support leaders need to succeed. Drawing on AMA research and expert insight, this issue focuses on the leadership capabilities, organizational systems and decision-making practices required in a continuously changing workplace.

Inside this issue, you’ll find articles on:

  • The Evolving Role of Leadership
    The mindset shifts and influence skills leaders need to guide teams and organizations through complexity
  • Organizational Performance and Alignment
    How leaders create alignment and better understand the human dynamics that drive engagement and collaboration
  • AI, Innovation, and Competitive Advantage
    When leaders can move beyond experimentation to create meaningful business impact in an AI-driven world

You’ll also find commentary from AMA experts on how organizations can build leadership capacity and support leaders as the reality of work continues to evolve.
