Kickstart 2025 with inspiration and actionable insights from Management magazine’s January issue. Explore the power of focusing on what truly matters, with expert advice on navigating volatility, leveraging generative AI for inclusivity, and fostering employee mental health.
The start of a new year is often a good chance for a bit of constructive navel-gazing. What could we have done better in 2024? What improvements, both personal and business, might we look towards in 2025? And are we the person, leader, parent, we had always hoped to be? We hope this first issue of Management for 2025 will offer you and your team some food for thought around the changes (or not) that you’d like to see the year bring.
It will undoubtedly be a big year on the geopolitical front and most likely on the economic front too, and while we can’t change everything around us, we can choose what matters most to us in 2025 and focus on that. Discover how a wise leader always focuses on controlling what can be controlled and makes the best of any situation, including things outside of their control.
Also in this issue a senior leader in the AI sphere highlights how leading organisations are using Generative AI already, noting many are realising how important these tools are for supporting employees with accessibility needs and neurodiversity.
