Whilst developing current leaders as well as future leaders, I have seen a change in what employers, and what employees are also looking for in their leaders. There has been a shift from the traditional management skills to more new leadership skills. In the past, there was an emphasis on business, operational and financial skills. Whereas, nowadays, employers are looking for people who have more leadership, soft or human skills. These would include, for example, emotional intelligence, commercial awareness, coaching and mentoring, or stress management skills, as well as communication skills.
