ORANGE COUNTY, CA—Embracing the rapid pace of change and new technology are essential to today's leaders, and tomorrow's leaders will need to be more strategic and flexible since the world changes so much more quickly today, experts tell GlobeSt.com. We spoke with a variety of knowledgeable sources about what leaders currently need to be successful that might not have been as important in the past. Stay tuned for a more in-depth feature on leadership insights in the June issue of Real Estate Forum.
Larry Armstrong, CEO of Ware Malcomb, tells GlobeSt.com that anticipating and embracing change has become more important than ever before. “You are driving change all the time in your business interactions. While change has always been a constant, the pace of change has accelerated and continues to accelerate. Understanding and deciding what to change, what not to change and when is the art of business.”
Embracing new technology is also key, adds Armstrong. “Leaders need to be fluent with technology. Continue to learn and understand how to integrate technology in your business. Consider what technologies will make you the most effective leader. You are never too old to learn something new.”
