How leadership has evolved: 2000 versus 2020
In the past decade, leadership was meant to be mugged up from a book. It was never believed to change for the generations to come. But no one could stay distant from reality — leadership is a complicated ball of mess now.
The only way one can hope to thrive as a successful leader is to readily understand and overcome the changes. Let’s see how this concept has evolved over these years.
- Then: Autocratic Leadership was in rage those days.
Now: Inclusive leadership is being practiced today extensively.
2. Then: Leaders used to focus on results rather than team’s growth.
Now: Their team’s personal development matters rather than just the end results.
3. Then: Chalking out what to do all alone and conveying the team about how to deal with the challenges
Now: Technology has eased everything to a great extent.
4. Then: Commanding and control were greatly used in those times
Now: Today, focus is given more on empowerment and inspiration.
5. Then: Leaders juggled their responsibilities however burdened they may be.
Now: Well. certain things are hard to change!
