Today's Wednesday Wisdom is brought to you by Indra Books Founder and CEO of Agility for All. Do you have a question? Post it in the comments? 

In today's rapidly changing and complex world, leaders need to possess a wide range of skills to navigate challenges and inspire their teams. In this two part Wednesday Wisdom, we are going to walk through what we think are the top 10 skills that leaders need today in no particular order.

Number one, adaptability. Leaders must be flexible and able to adjust their strategies and approaches in response to evolving circumstances and market conditions. 

Number two, emotional intelligence. And we have done an episode on this before, so check it out in the blogs. Understanding and managing emotions both their own and those of others is crucial for effective leadership. Emotional intelligence enables leaders to empathize, build strong relationships, and make decisions that consider the wellbeing of their team members. 

Number three, communication. Strong communication skills are essential for leaders to articulate their vision, provide clear instructions, listen actively, and foster an environment of open dialogue and collaboration.

Number four, visionary thinking. Leaders need to have a clear vision of where they want to take the organization or team. They should be able to communicate this vision to others and motivate them to work towards its realization. 

And number five, strategic thinking. Leaders must possess the ability to think strategically, analyze complex situations, and make sound decisions that align with the long-term goals of the organization.

What do you think our next five skills will be? Share in the comments and join us next week for number six through 10.
