<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>This volume provides guidance for leaders in navigating the myriad formidable workplace challenges of the 2020s and beyond. Relentless change and volatility characterizing this period have indelibly changed how employees experience work, and leadership practices must adapt in response. From the upending effects of COVID-19 to social unrest, wars, and technological advances, the world is substantially different from just a few short years ago. The need for effective leadership has never been greater, yet often the leaders we have are not the leaders we need. How leaders navigate these unprecedented times will determine who succeeds and who falls short; that is the focus of this volume. Covering topics such as technology, sociopolitical challenges, compassion, and empathy, the chapters help leaders navigate the new world of work and build their adaptability for inevitable future challenges. This volume brings together a range of perspectives from four dozen experts across the globe, collectively providing thought-provoking insights grounded in research-based, real-world-tested ideas and approaches, to guide and enable leaders through the challenges of today and tomorrow.</jats:p>
