The Leadership Skill No One Taught You
Renée Giarrusso argues that traditional leadership development is outdated, as most new leaders are promoted for technical expertise rather than people skills. A Deloitte survey shows 71% of leaders are stressed and 40% contemplate leaving, while only 10% of HR and L&D professionals believe teams possess the skills needed for the next two years. Giarrusso identifies emotional‑intelligence (EQ) competencies—optimism, adaptability, and relationship building—as the critical differentiators for 2026 leaders in an AI‑driven world. She calls for a deliberate focus on psychological safety, self‑awareness, and empathy to bridge the widening skill gap.
