The landscape of leadership is shifting—fast. In this episode of Cerius Leadership, we sit down with Anika Gakovic, to explore the evolving demands on today’s leaders and the skills that will define success in the digital era.
Drawing from decades of experience helping executives transition into their next big role, Anika shares how leadership expectations have transformed—from the industrial age to the knowledge economy, and now the digital era. As trust, belonging, and purpose take center stage in the workplace, leaders must adapt to create meaningful employee experiences that drive results. We break down the five essential leadership skills for the future:
Intentions & Priorities – Align vision, build discipline, and trust your preparation.
Mindfulness & Self-Awareness – Expand situational awareness and overcome self-limiting beliefs.
Relationships First – Foster trust, master storytelling, and embrace leadership as a responsibility.
Courageous Conversations – Solve the right problems, engage with curiosity, and drive accountability.
Resilience & Wellness – Manage energy, embrace adaptability, and create a sustainable pace.
Anika is a coach and business psychologist. She has taken her decades and education both as an executive to articulate and drive the what, how, and why of business leadership. Anika, thank you for joining us today. This is an exciting time in business as we see a number of shifts going on in the workforce and how they will impact how we lead our businesses and our teams.
Anika shares practical insights, real-world examples, and actionable takeaways to help leaders at all levels navigate the complexities of the modern workplace. #IntentionalLeadership #LeadershipDevelopment #FutureOfWork
