The top 10 jobs of 2025 are all technical roles, according to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report. But only two of the top 10 skills of 2025 are technical skills. The other eight top skills? Leadership and business skills. This difference highlights the growing need for leadership and management skills in the technology workforce. Typically, a technical professional is promoted to a manager role because they excel in a functional role. But managing people and delivering results through a team requires an entirely new skillset. Tech leaders need to be able to explain how writing a piece of code can enable an organization to deliver on its business goals or speak to senior leadership to make a business case for their team’s work. Join Rashim Mogha, General Manager of Skillsoft Leadership and Business Solutions, for an informative discussion on the best practices for developing technical talent into skilled business leaders. Rashim has held leadership roles at technology companies like VMWare, Amazon Web Services, Oracle, and Automation Anywhere, and can speak to both the challenges facing technology teams and the positive impact that effective leadership development can deliver. In this session, you will learn how to: - Build a technology leadership pipeline that can give your organization a competitive edge - Assess the leadership development needs of your IT managers to develop a successful training strategy - Deploy a mix of formal learning and real-world application to develop effective tech leaders
