Good leaders are very important to have in this industry, especially at a time when employees are jumping shift quite often. A good manager can change the way an employee sees the company and the work that is being done.

Industry leaders share their thoughts, comments, and concerns about how leadership will look like in 2024.

The future of work is here — it is time for the leader of the future to stand up

Employees expect more from leadership than ever before — more transparency, more commitment to work/life balance and more willingness to incorporate their sentiments and preferences into the workplace. The mindset has shifted from "my paycheck to my purpose"; "my boss to my coach"; "my annual performance review to ongoing development conversations". It is not an employer's market anymore; it's an employee's market and workers aren't afraid to search elsewhere to find a workplace, or leader, that fits their needs. In response, there will continue to be not only a transformation of leadership styles, but in the overall organization of leadership strategy. Successful leaders will need to prioritize qualities and strategies that promote a flexible and open-minded workforce where credibility, reliability and trust are paramount.
