With the advent of the digital age, major changes are afoot in leadership development. Work has seen dis-aggregation with agile talent taking up certain assignments away from a siloed organization. Artificial Intelligence and robotics are further wrecking havoc with traditional models. In such a scenario, it is essential that corporate training also undergoes the churn to keep up with the times. First of all it needs to embrace digitization. Leaders must have the vision to see through and fight back digital disruption. Business innovations must be leveraged rather than seen as threats to existing work. Training sessions must be modeled in such a way that part of the same can be delivered outside the classroom using mobile devices. This gives the trainees full flexibility to get the best out of the sessions. For certain key aspects, potential leaders must be provided executive coaching or mentorship by the very best within those respective fields.
