“Navigating the Leadership Landscape: Labor Forecasts and Employment Demographic Trends “

This keynote explores the dynamics of leadership in the 21st century, focusing on essential aspects such as labor forecasts, employment demographic trends, and the critical role of employee engagement. Delving into the concept of employee engagement, we will examine its definition, significance, and the potential costs associated with disengaged employees. Furthermore, we will discuss the methods through which leaders can actively “earn” employee engagement, emphasizing the shift from a traditional managerial role to that of a coach. This keynote will feature selected leadership case studies, providing practical insights into effective leadership strategies in contemporary organizational settings.
