As a successful tech entrepreneur, Nicole Verkindt has her fingers on the pulse of technological trends and their effect on business as we know it. She recently shared insight into the shifting power dynamics that we’re currently seeing in the marketplace as a result of disruptive technology. It places more power into the hands of consumers and employees versus traditional leaders.

This shift has resulted in changing requirements for leadership styles, forcing companies to change how they approach their work, especially when it comes to diversity. We are seeing increased demands for 2D diversity, Nicole explains, which covers both inherent diversity (gender, ethnicity, culture, etc.) as well as acquired (learning and experiences).

The only way for those organizations to stay relevant is to essentially blow up the way they operate internally and to leverage a whole bunch of different people around the table, different ages, different backgrounds… and to embrace this completely new way of leading.
