Most business leaders understand that we are living through a “great reconfiguration,”—a period in which whole industries, economies, and societies are being reshaped. Yet given the short-term pressures they face, few executives find themselves in a position to really contend with them. Through our research and work with organisations around the world, we have identified five differentiators of “transformative leadership;” a form of leadership that enables executives to understand the nature of the changes that are required, take their organisation on the journey to implement them, and deliver results: https://pwc.to/3SYP0nb #Leadership
As a leader, use natural sciences as a backdrop to complexity sense making, and you shall discover wonders and unlock imaginative value creation initiatives. Learning from micro stories by your workforce and stakeholders is a case in point here....
This is a great perspective on the challenges leaders face today. The concept of 'transformative leadership' is more relevant than ever, especially in an era where industries are constantly evolving. Excited to dive into the research and see how these insights can drive meaningful change.
Insightful
Great perspective, PwC. What I’ve seen is that transformation often fails because leaders assume alignment once a plan is in place. But real buy-in happens when people experience the impact, not when they read the slides. The best transformative leaders I’ve worked with ensure change is visible in day-to-day decisions.
As a stellar servant, authentic, visionary and transformational leader with world-class experience, I play my part successfully. As the UN Global Climate Champion, I demonstrated a relentless commitment to excellence with purpose and an unwavering digital mindset. As a Career Civil Servant and a Steward in Digital Services, I inspired people, bridged skills gaps, unlocked human potential and unleashed productivity. The Ultimate Masterclass for Experts: Financial Economics, Geopolitics, and International Economics are interconnected fields: Analyze how economic activities, including finance, trade, tariff, and global interactions, shape national and international power, stability, and growth. Digitial Transformation and the 21st High-Tech workforce transformation. From March 24 to 28, it's my distinct honor to join the largest team of experts for the 2025 OECD Global Anti-Corruption and Integrity Forum in Paris, France. The theme is: “Harnessing Innovation to Break New Ground”. This Forum will focus on the role that today’s unprecedented innovations can play in transforming the global fight against corruption and inventing new ways to promote integrity and transparency.
Balancing short-term pressures with long-term transformation is no easy feat. The leaders who crack that code won’t just keep up, they’ll set the pace.

1wThought-provoking piece. One potential extension is the breadth of capabilities modern leaders increasingly require—spanning behavioural science, digital fluency (incl. AI and ICT), and adaptive people management. Emerging research highlights that transformation success often hinges not just on vision and delivery, but also on the ability to interpret human behaviour, navigate complex systems, and sustain collective momentum around a shared objective. These domains may warrant further emphasis alongside the leadership differentiators outlined here.
