Purpose – Reviews the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoints practical implications from cutting‐edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach – This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings – Rampant globalization and the seemingly endless advances in technology are often cited as key reasons why today's business environment is growing ever more demanding. Throw in the prevailing economic uncertainty and it's easy to comprehend why the challenges faced by many companies rate on an almost unprecedented scale. Effective leadership is a must at the best of times. In a world where intense competition and uncertainty are the norm, it becomes even more critical. The development of current and future leaders has thus arguably never been as important. Not surprisingly, the spotlight falls on business schools to a considerable degree. Firms depend on these institutions to produce graduates capable of navigating the business ship through increasingly stormy waters. Expectations are naturally high. Practical implications – Provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world's leading organizations. Originality/value – The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy‐to digest format.
