The study is based on a survey of 2,170 leaders across 13 countries and 27 in-depth interviews with leaders across 10 countries from a mix of industries including financial services, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), technology, retail, infrastructure, education, and professional services companies. The countries surveyed were Australia, New Zealand, India, Indonesia, Japan, China, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam.
It articulates the five roles that hybrid leaders will need to embrace - the anchored imaginer who inspires commitment to a shared direction, the cat herder who drives collaboration without undermining flexibility, the risk-averse gambler who forges ahead while processes evolve, the wellness hunter who champions work flexibility, and the tech-savvy humanist who embraces technology but remains people-centric.
