The 2026 Demand for Purpose Driven Leaders. Is it real?

Author: Transformation Talk Radio April 21, 2026 Duration: 0:00
In our last episode, we discussed the profile of the 2026 Executive as defined by a substantial executive search firm. We didn’t get to the last element of the profile: Purpose Driven Leaders: Those that align business results with a societal purpose: A broader benefit to employees, customers, vendors, communities, and perhaps the environment. As a business psychologist, I do think this leadership standard is real, but I’m a bit skeptical as to whether it is really in higher demand today. I’m glad we didn’t cite this Purpose Driven profile aspect last time because I think it deserves a full show focus today.
