What challenges will the Future of Work bring for our people, teams and organisations?
What unique skills do our leaders need to lead their teams and organisations now and in the Future of Work with confidence?
With the integration of new technologies and models of work, the skills required for successful leadership are evolving.
Whilst some of the advances in the world of work have not yet been imagined, we know that the pace of change will be accelerated and leaders will be required to lead teams and organisations in global business environments with increased levels of complexity and uncertainty.
Leaders will require a range of unique skills separate from the technical skills that they possess, so they can think critically, innovate, remain emotionally agile and connect with, motivate and lead diverse teams to work together and respond successfully to an ever-changing environment.
These are Human Leadership Skills.
Drawing on the latest research on the Future of Work and integrating it with learning from neuroscience and psychology the Human Leadership Skills Programme develops the skills essential for successful leadership now, and for building high performing teams and cultures designed to thrive in the Future of Work.
Using a blended learning approach, the Human Skills Programme is a 12 part programme which can be delivered online in short workshops or face to face over three days.

Leaders who develop their own Human Skills and tailor these for successful leadership increase productivity, performance and innovations of teams and whole organisations.
therehuman’s Human Leadership Skills Framework enables you to assess and map your leader’s human development needs.
Our Human Leadership Skills Programme then supports you to develop these essential skills for high performing individuals, teams and leaders.
Human Leadership for Human Teams
The leadership skills required for success now and in the Future of Work have very specific features.
They are uniquely human, cannot be automated, are universal, highly transferable and can be developed.
Skills such as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, emotional agility, the ability to inspire, motivative, take the initiative and lead people through change.
These are Human Leadership Skills
Based on the latest research on the Human Leadership Skills required for performance now and for the Future of Work, the Human Leadership Skills programme develops 16 skills grouped under 4 main domains.
Cognitive
Self-Mastery
Interpersonal
Future Focused
Cognitive Human Leadership Skills
Developing cognitive skills through learning how the brain works and metacognition (thinking about our thinking) is an often neglected area of professional development. And yet, skills such as planning and work management, critical and strategic thinking, decision making, innovation and creativity are essential skills for leaders who need to stay ahead of the curve.
Self-Mastery Human Leadership Skills
Success now and in the Future of Work will require the ability to understand how to regulate and attune to the changing needs of people, environments and challenges. In order to manage this, people will need to employ skills such as the ability to self-motivate, respond appropriately under pressure, use emotional agility and enhanced focus to persevere towards goals. If leaders master these skills they provide powerful role models to their teams, creating high performing cultures.
Interpersonal Human Leadership Skills
Research shows that the most skilled leaders across the globe know how to ‘build connection and channel it into action towards meaningful goals.’ This is one of the unique areas of human expertise that will not be replaced by technology. This ability requires a range of skills including communication, forming relationships, collaboration and inspiring, coaching and mobilising others.
Future Focused Human Leadership Skills
Research is clear, the pace of change in the Future of Work will be accelerated. Leaders will need to lead their teams through times of significant challenge, change and uncertainty. In order to do this, they need to develop a growth mindset, understand the nature of change and how to successfully support diverse teams to grow stronger with each challenge they face.
