| How to Become a Better Strategic Thinker | A common piece of developmental feedback is the need to move from tactical to strategic thinking. But what does that look like? This author, who has coached thousands of leaders to help develop their strategic thinking capabilities, has identified three core behaviors to work on, also based on a survey of 2,586 managers. | | | | | | What the Next Generation of Project Management Will Look Like | Traditional project management skills, such as project governance or project management methodology, aren't sufficient to meet changing organizational needs. A recent survey of 373 project management leaders identified the "next generation" skills—from organizational awareness to financial acumen—that have a disproportionate impact on performance. | | | | | | How Generative AI Will Transform Knowledge Work | Generative AI can be a boon for knowledge work, but only if you use it in the right way. New generative AI-enabled tools are rapidly emerging to assist and transform knowledge work in industries ranging from education and finance to law and medicine. Companies are starting to introduce generative AI-powered innovations into their processes, and to promote policies on how to use the tools safely. | | | | | | How Leaders Can Create a Purpose-Driven Culture | Companies are increasingly emphasizing a corporate purpose beyond mere profitability. The success of this integration largely hinges on organizational culture. For one, leaders need to genuinely exemplify and articulate the company's values, as demonstrated by companies like Netflix and LUSH. It's vital for employees to perceive their daily roles as contributing to this larger purpose, with firms like Atlassian and Cisco offering noteworthy models. Read on for more examples of companies living into purpose-driven cultures. | | | | | | The Leap from Project Manager to CEO Is Hard—But Not Impossible | Project managers who aspire to be CEOs are often surprised to learn that their skills, while highly valuable, do not directly align with those needed for positions of executive leadership. Why isn't successful management of high-stakes projects and organizational resources sufficient to ascend to the top ranks of the business? A few reasons. Here are nine attributes PMs should develop to increase their potential to become the next executive leader. | | | | | | |
