2025 Leadership Development and Governance Trends Report

We are proud to announce the publication of our 2025 Leadership Development and Governance Trends Report, titled “The Leadership Imperative.”

Published by ExperTrait Consulting and Management Ltd, this report examines how organizations must rethink leadership development and corporate governance in response to accelerating digital transformation, AI integration, regulatory complexity, and evolving stakeholder expectations.

Our findings from available data highlight critical challenges shaping leadership in 2025:
Only 40% of organizations rate their leadership quality as good or excellent
43% of senior executives experience imposter syndrome
55% of board directors believe at least one colleague should be replaced

The Leadership Imperative provides evidence-based insights and practical frameworks to help organizations close leadership competency gaps, strengthen board effectiveness, and build future-ready governance systems grounded in human-centered leadership.

This report is designed for CEOs, board members, senior executives, governance professionals, and emerging leaders seeking to drive sustainable performance and long-term value creation in a transforming world.
