Welcome to the year 2040!
Leadership will continue to be about “enabling others to achieve the right results.” However, in the not so distant future, those “others” may not just be people — they may also be machines.
In this episode of the Gartner Futures Lab Podcast, host Marty Resnick sits down with Gartner Distinguished Vice President Analyst, Fellow and the Chief of Research of the Gartner Futures Lab, Frank Buytendijk and Vice President Analyst Rob O’Donohue to discuss their latest research: “The (Far) Future of Leadership.” Our experts explore how the role of a leader is becoming increasingly complex, and, to be successful, leaders will have to be almost superhuman.
Frank Buytendijk is a distinguished VP and Gartner fellow in Gartner’s Innovation and Disruption team, and chief of research of the Gartner Futures Lab. His work mostly takes a futurist approach, researching the edges of what he covers. Buytendijk pioneers the topics of “the future,” digital ethics and digital society, helping organizations to do the right thing with technology and avoid costly mistakes. He further covers data and analytics.
