What will it take to be an effective leader in the future? I believe two of the most foundational leadership attributes of the future will be the capacity to integrate, in the broadest sense, and to regulate self. We live in an interconnected and interdependent world that is constantly evolving, with massive amounts of information generated and accessible every minute of every day. Leaders of the future must be able to quickly sift through all of this information to find the essence of what is meaningful and create actionable focus in spite of the constant interference of new information. And to get to this point, leaders must be able to clear their minds, let go of their baggage, understand their constraints, and recognize the limitations of their perspectives.
