Training the future leaders society needs

To solve today’s dire societal challenges, we need leaders who are able to generate purpose, ethics, system-thinking, interdisciplinary innovations and societal impact. International businesses and global associations are urging management educators to transform programmes and courses to deliver the kind of leadership that the world needs.

Yet, there is still a scarcity of leaders who are sufficiently competent and willing to move corporate decision-making towards progressing societal betterment at the pace and direction required.

Are business schools too slow to transform curriculum, pedagogies and incentive structures to develop our future leaders? If so, how can they speed up?
