The job market is evolving, and in recent years, this process has accelerated and intensified. According to the latest research from the McKinsey Global Institute, there will be a demand for completely new skills worldwide over the next 10 years. So far, highly valued hard skills in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) will take a back seat, and achieving success will require a high development of so-called human skills.

Five Reflections for Modern Leaders
The world is constantly changing. We are finding out that "tried and tested" ways of the past are no longer fit for what lays ahead. The journey is challenging and fun and each one of us has to discover it for ourselves. I have had the good fortune to work with many who inspired my growth. Now I want to share with you the five reflections, five transitions, that were particularly helpful for me, so you don't have to start from scratch. It may be challenging, we may disagree and you may learn something new. Be ready to shift your perspective.
The best a leader can do is understand the conditions creating a climate of growth and do everything possible to irrigate.”

Be a leader of the future and make it an art!
The job market is evolving, and in recent years, this process has accelerated and intensified. According to the latest research from the McKinsey Global Institute, there will be a demand for completely new skills worldwide over the next 10 years. So far, highly valued hard skills in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) will take a back seat, and achieving success will require a high development of so-called human skills.
Business analysts and economists are observing how quickly the very definition of work is changing, and consequently, the ways of management. Hard skills, which previously guaranteed high-paying jobs, such as those in IT, will not bring such financial results by 2030 if we do not expand them with soft skills. Paradoxically, 80 percent of society - after achieving a relatively stable professional position - stops learning, losing interest in new knowledge.
It turns out that the perfect tools for building future skills are found in contemporary art, which uses them consciously and extremely modernly. Artists, to achieve success, are open to self-improvement and dialogue. They do not fear unpredictability or improvisation and see them as a space for development, originality, and artistic freedom. That's why they break the boundaries of their time and even epochs, breaking patterns and old norms.
I will talk about how to discover art to discover the competencies of future leaders. To use art as a tool in achieving success - drawing from it, to create the mindset of a new leader. People who are close to art cross boundaries, think unconventionally, quickly implement changes, and achieve tangible results. They have passion, are inspired, and inspire others around them.

Nomad, koczownik, pasterz? Jakim przewodnikiem jest Servant Leader(-ka) w organizacji?
Are you curious why Magda found the archetype of a Servant Leader in nomadic pastoralism within the organization? As we look around, we see more and more organizations boldly deciding to build businesses differently. They've had enough of hierarchical structures, dominant leadership, or a cult of individual OKRs. Already, the new generation entering the workforce refuses to accept solely pursuing individual goals because they associate them with competition. We really have little time to change our thinking about organizations and leadership!
Imagine a vast, bustling city where everyone is saying or doing something, bustling almost into chaos. Suddenly, you smell an extraordinary, earthy scent. You look around and see it: there it is, standing! It's... a shepherd! What is he doing here?
Magdalena will tell you what connects the figure of a nomad, wanderer, and shepherd with the current role of the team's Servant Leader. She'll reveal to you how she found clues in the world of shepherds and sheep on how to build a modern, conscious, and responsible organization. An organization that puts people first and wins with them. Does that sound intriguing...? (PS Did you know that shepherds are probably the happiest professional group in the world?!)
Magda has seen transformations of presidents, scrum masters, clergy, managers... and they start to become shepherds. She herself has been a shepherdess for 3 years now and invites those who are ready to follow the path of a Servant Leader to this amazing world.
