The Future Project Culture: Inspiring Leadership
By Dr. Harold Kerzner and Dr. Al Zeitoun
Abstract
In this White Paper, we will tackle a few elements to start the dialogue on what “Inspiring Leadership” could mean and why it is critical to drive and motivate future generations, including the youngest people alive today, generation Alpha. Leadership of the future is more about the art of connectedness. It is the true act of translating context in something that is relatable to ignite the focus of work teams of the future.
