What the future demands: The growing challenge of global leadership development


Accelerating growth and globalization are forcing organizations to identify and nurture leaders who can operate effectively across the organization and, in many cases, across borders. Aging workforces in many countries increase the pressure, as a generation of senior leaders prepares to retire.

For some organizations, the key challenge is immediate: aligning current leadership with the business strategy. Other organizations struggle more with “bench strength” issues – finding and developing the leaders of the future. Many organizations face both of these leadership challenges, and almost all struggle with ensuring smooth leadership transitions.

Mercer is pleased to introduce a new Point of View paper that addresses these critical business issues. This paper, What the future demands: The growing challenge of global leadership development, is based on an executive roundtable series that Mercer and its sibling company, Oliver Wyman – Delta Organization & Leadership (formerly Mercer Delta), conducted with Harvard Business School Publishing in the US and Europe.
