What if leading in 2025 isn't about doing more, but leading smarter, more human, and with purpose?

As the world continues to shift rapidly, Denis shares the 7 leadership trends shaping the future and what you need to do now to stay effective and ahead of the curve.

This Ask Denis episode isn't theory. It's a practical pulse check. You’ll walk away with real questions to ask yourself, new habits to consider, and the mindset shifts that matter most.

#1: Use AI, Don’t Fear It

Be curious about how AI supports decision-making and communication
Lead with empathy and heart while leveraging smart tools
Focus on using AI to improve outcomes, not just efficiency

#2: Trust and Transparency Win

Avoid sugarcoating; clarity builds loyalty
Invite feedback and create safe spaces for honesty
Model openness, especially during uncertainty

#3: Lead Hybrid Teams Differently

Shift focus from presence to performance
Over-communicate expectations and vision
Trust your people to deliver, not just to show up

#4: Purpose Over Profit

Align your team around a mission bigger than revenue
Walk your talk, don’t just post your values, live them
Embed impact and responsibility into goals

#5: Learning Is Your Edge

Make learning a habit, not an event
Be the leader who asks better questions, not who has all the answers
Encourage your team to learn through action

#6: Inclusion Builds Real Belonging

Listen to different voices and perspectives
Lead with empathy and respect
Build a culture where everyone feels safe to show up fully

#7: Wellbeing Is a Leadership Priority

Protect your energy, model rest and renewal
Normalize wellbeing conversations on your team
Build a culture where health is part of performance
