A key upshot of this concern is the belief that businesses have some obligation towards these and other issues. The burden of expectation is daunting for some firms.

Exploiting developments and trends demands effective leadership. But without the necessary array of skills and attitudes, senior leaders will struggle to successfully navigate their organizations through the sea of global change. How to best develop these desired leadership capabilities remains a challenge for those charged with management training.Practical implicationsThe paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world's leading organizations.Originality/valueThe paper saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy‐to digest format.
