• In 'How Leaders Inspire: Cracking the Code', Bain asked: what makes a leader inspiring? Companies that can answer this question have a powerful tool to increase their competitive edge. Inspired employees are more than twice as productive as satisfied employees, according to research Bain recently conducted with the Economist Intelligence Unit. The power of a company with leaders who inspire at every level up and down the organisation is hard to overstate. These are the companies that consistently pull off innovative or heroic feats in business because so many of the people who work there are motivated to make them happen. Companies spend billions of dollars on leadership training to reinforce and enhance the soft skills that inspire, motivate and create engagement, but most have found that it is deceptively hard to do these things.

• What of the leaders of tomorrow, asked PwC? How do they see these global trends, and do they have the same priorities as previous generations? We decided to answer some of these questions by undertaking a parallel survey with over 200 young leaders from AIESEC, looking at ttwo groups - CEOs and young leaders - side by side, exploring where they agree and differ, the implications for companies looking to attract the best young talent, and what today’s CEOs can learn from those who are most likely to succeed them. Explore the Tomorrow's leaders today findings on the website, including a 2-pager featuring the key findings in infographics.
