Focus on the Individual as a Leader
Future-readiness is a term frequently discussed in corporate environments. However, its true meaning for individuals often remains unclear. While managers must adopt a long-term perspective and consider the broader organizational goals, it is equally crucial to focus on the individual needs and aspirations of each team member.
This approach represents a significant shift from traditional management styles. In the past, the emphasis was often solely on team dynamics. Today, successful leadership necessitates a deep understanding of each individual's strengths, weaknesses, goals, and desires. By investing in personal growth and development, leaders empower their team members to excel in their roles, ultimately contributing to the overall success of the team and the organization.

Transcript:
Future readiness is a discussion you see in a lot of organizations, but what does it mean for you as the individual? Being a manager in an organization requires you to think bigger and think long term, but also look into what other different team members you have, and then Leading the team members individually, and that's something that was not the case a couple of years back.
We all need to hone into the individual and then look into what are the needs and desires of the individual person in your team and then enabling them to grow, enabling them to succeed in their role in what they're doing.
And through that, the team will be more successful through the team the organization will be more successful. A huge demand on us as managers.
