White Paper
THE HERO LEADER HAS EXITED THE STAGE
Skillsoft’s white paper "The Hero Leader Has Exited the Stage" examines the shift from traditional, top-down leadership to a model suited for the digital age. Today’s leaders need to foster collaboration, empower agile, mission-driven teams, and encourage innovation. Traditional leadership development is falling short, with only a fraction of leaders believing their companies build effective leaders. Six truths for modern leadership include leading agile teams, connecting rather than commanding, fostering managed empowerment, measuring success by innovation, emphasizing continuous learning mindsets, and democratizing leadership across all levels. Skillsoft's program provides scalable, scenario-based digital leadership training tailored to these needs.
