Filmed February 6, 2015, at the ULI Global Trustees and Key Leaders Midwinter Meeting in Paris.

The world has changed—it is more complex, uncertain, variable, and interconnected. Leaders of the future must be more adaptable, collaborative, and strategic to make their vision reality. McKinsey & Company suggests that “executives in the era [of smart technology] will be able to make the biggest difference through the human touch. By the questions they frame, their vigor in attacking exceptional circumstances highlighted by increasingly intelligent algorithms, and their ability to do things machines can’t. That includes tolerating ambiguity and focusing on the ‘softer’ side of management to engage the organization and build its capacity for self-renewal.”
