Abstract
The leaders of the future will not only need to be more proactive than ever, but will also have to respond to a variety of short-term requirements. Various technical and social skills such as communication via social media and new forms of transparency, networking, communication and coordination are classified as central leadership skills. Altered environments such as the digital transformation, demographic trends and the global nature of business require, and enable, new forms of cooperation between people with widely varying backgrounds, linked by new forms of communication worldwide. The expectations and opportunities will become more diverse as the pace of action and availability of possible courses of action will continuously increase.
