What This Article Covers
DHR Global's annual report examines how executive hiring, leadership development, and workforce planning are evolving in a labor market reshaped by AI and shifting employee expectations.
PersonaScore's Take
The executive hiring playbook is changing. The best leadership teams aren't built on résumés alone — they're built on complementary strengths, self-awareness, and data about how people actually lead under pressure.
Why This Matters
Leadership effectiveness starts with self-awareness and extends through team understanding. The data is clear: managers drive 70% of employee engagement, yet most receive minimal development. When leaders understand their own work styles and those of their team members, they make better decisions, communicate more effectively, and build stronger cultures.
