Navigating Leadership in 2025: Embracing Five Paradigm Shifts

In this New Year's episode of Impactful Teamwork, we usher in 2025 by discussing key leadership transformations necessary for thriving in today's turbulent environment. Reflecting on McKinsey & Company's latest research, the episode emphasises the need for new leadership skills focused on impact, collaboration, and authenticity. We discuss five critical paradigm shifts— from profit to impact, from competition to co-creation, from command to collaboration, from control to evolution, and from expectations to wholeness—essential for modern organisations. Real-life examples, like Netflix's transformation, illustrate how visionary leadership can drive substantial growth and innovation. The episode concludes with an invitation to consider and implement these changes in your leadership approach for a more dynamic and prosperous 2025.00:00 Welcome to Impactful Teamwork 202500:23 Reflecting on New Year's Resolutions01:02 Creating Space for New Goals02:07 Research Insights from McKinsey02:48 Challenges and Opportunities in Leadership03:54 The Evolution of Leadership Structures05:15 New Organizational Approaches07:43 Five Critical Leadership Shifts08:49 From Profit to Impact11:51 From Competition to Co-Creation13:08 From Command to Collaboration13:42 From Control to Evolution14:40 From Expectations to Wholeness15:43 Embracing Paradigm Shifts in 202516:45 Inspiring Leadership Transformation17:39 Final Thoughts and EncouragementConnect with Julia:WebsiteLinkedInFacebookInstagramTake the IMPACTFUL Teamwork Quiz to assess your team's communication, creativity culture, goal clarity, and conflict resolution skills!Listen on Apple PodcastsListen on Spotify
