How to develop future Leaders:
Leaders and organizations encounter challenges in today’s fast-changing world. The need for new leadership skills to adapt to volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environments is urgent. Developing leadership capabilities for a broad range of employees is crucial, but traditional education pathways may not meet current demands. New methods for delivering education, such as the Personal Learning Cloud (PLC), provide customizable and effective options. However, there is a call for more emphasis on social, embodied, holistic, scaffolded, and dynamic learning experiences to prepare leaders for the complexities of today’s world.
Community or Organisational Learning Lab Centres
In the 21st century, individuals and organizations require new skills to navigate unpredictability and complexity. Traditional education falls short, leading to the need for “Social Learning” and self-organized “Learning Labs” where diverse participants collaborate to practice essential new skills. This approach fosters a learning organization culture and encourages peer-to-peer cross-functional co-learning.
Why should we promote ongoing learning?
The Forgetting Curve explains how we lose half of what we learn in one day. To promote ongoing learning, we need social interaction and autonomy over when and how we learn. By providing learning experiences aligned with employees’ jobs, companies can drive better performance, satisfaction, and ultimately, business success. Collaborative spaces and a learning culture contribute to professional growth and organizational improvement.

A reimagined approach, exemplified by grassroots neighborhood parliaments, highlights hierarchy’s potential as a bridging tool for empowered decision-making and community service.
