Global Leadership Development Study

A global survey of 1100 executives, comprising C-suite and mid-level executives was conducted across North America, Latin America, EMEA, and APAC regions, with the questionnaire carefully crafted to suit a diverse respondent base. The survey was programmed using industry-standard tools to minimize dropouts and ensure high-quality responses. A Phone-to-Web methodology was adopted, wherein screener questions were completed via telephone, after which respondents received survey links to complete the survey online. End-to-end data collection was managed to ensure both demographic and geographic diversity, with the collected data subsequently cleaned, analyzed, and delivered to the client.

A significant 66% of leaders have recently shifted to a more empathetic, human-centred leadership approach, with 63% believing that leadership styles should be adjusted more frequently. On the collaboration front, 64% of executives feel there should be more cross-functional collaboration among departments, while an overwhelming 89% feel their organization is supportive of its leaders. However, despite this supportive environment, only 50% of executives say they are adequately prepared to meet current and future challenges, even as 76% of organizations have undergone digital transformation in the past 12 months.
