Leadership today demands more than strong résumés and past achievements. As AI reshapes work and influence spreads through networks, the leaders who thrive are those who can stretch across challenges, stay relevant as contexts shift, and create value that lasts. Range, relevance, and value are no longer “nice-to-haves”—they’re the new benchmarks of leadership. For organizations, this means rethinking how we identify and support leaders: looking beyond titles and metrics to the deeper capacities that enable people to reinvent their contributions and shape cultures that endure.
