Even your leadership needs to evolve

In a world marked by planetary crisis, accelerating technological change, and growing systemic uncertainty, research shows that conventional leadership capacities are no longer enough. This invites — and at times challenges — us as leaders to grow into deeper levels of maturity and future-fit leadership.

We define future-fit leadership as the ability to lead with wisdom, clarity, courage, and care in a VUCA world of accelerating change. Future-fit leadership grows through inner development and through learning, experience, and reflection — and is expressed in the world through how we as leaders engage with people, organisations, and ecosystems. This is not something you learn once, but something you grow into through learning, practice, and reflection. The Leadership Evolution Lab is designed to support this journey — at your own pace.

The content is based on research and extensive leadership experience, and created and curated by Elisabet Lagerstedt at Future Navigators. The lab also has its own evolution and is expected to change and adapt to learning and feed back over time.

Your participation and engagement will contribute to the further evolution of the lab, and to our ongoing research in Transformative Business Leadership in fully anonymised and ethical ways.

Registration and participation does not imply additional engagement in executive coaching or any of our live programs or events. Some leaders and leadership teams may choose to add deeper developmental partnerships guided by us, but that is always optional.

Q: Is the content research-based? Does it have a connection to lived leadership experience?

The Lab is deeply grounded in extensive leadership, business and entrepreneurial experience.

It further has a broad academic interdisciplinary foundation. It draws from organizational development and leadership research, futures and foresight, economic history, entrepreneurship and innovation, sociology, resilience science, systems and complexity thinking, transformative learning, adult and vertical leadership development, psychology, neuropsychology, philosophy, and the wisdom traditions.

Together, this offers a rigorous and holistic understanding of how we as leaders grow, the context that we grow in - and how our inner development enables outer change through wiser action in a world of accelerating complexity and change.
