Decades of expertise count for nothing if we don't continue to evolve. Our global think tank, Kestria Institute, identifies emerging trends, shares innovative ideas and relevant thought leadership with a diverse community of stakeholders.
Kestria recently conducted an inaugural Global Leadership Barometer, a comprehensive survey exploring leadership challenges and priorities in today’s increasingly complex and disrupted world. As organisations navigate unprecedented geopolitical, economic, digital, and talent-related disruptions, this annual initiative aims to provide valuable insight into how leaders are responding and adapting.
In a world shaped by constant disruption; be it geopolitical instability, inflation, technological shifts or talent shortages—leaders must navigate this increasingly complex landscape. The inaugural Kestria Global Leadership Barometer brings together the voices of over 600 senior leaders from around the world to shed light on how they and their organisations are responding to these challenges, and what this means for the future of leadership.
The executive search industry is undergoing a profound transformation, shaped by advancements in AI, evolving client expectations and an increasingly globalised talent market. To better understand these shifts, Kestria conducted a global survey, gathering insights from 141 Managing Partners and senior consultants across more than 40 countries. The findings highlight the key trends, challenges and opportunities redefining executive search, offering a closer look at how firms are adapting and what distinguishes industry leaders in this rapidly changing landscape.
