The document discusses the need for a new form of sustainable leadership to match the evolution of organizations in today's globalized world. It uses the example of a coaching client, John, to illustrate this new leadership style. Over three years, John shifted from focusing on operational details to taking a wider strategic view as he took on new roles in his multinational organization, dealing with complexity, cultural differences, and eventually leading organizational change during an acquisition. Through executive coaching, John developed skills in change management, strategic positioning, and collaborative leadership to help him navigate these new challenges, exemplifying the portrait of the leader of the future as described in the Hay Group's 2030 Leadership research.
