10 MAGAZINE That emotional propensity makes new generations better positioned for interpersonal interaction. When expressing themselves, future leaders use words such as “help,” “feel,” and “share” more often. They also talk about “loving,” “losing,” and “achieving,” about “learning,” “understanding,” and “listening.” They tend to avoid the kinds of dominant verbs, such as “win,” “allow,” “pay,” “mean,” and “seem,” that current leaders use liberally. Words such as “life,” “people,” “friend,” and “team” are also much more common in the vocabulary of future leaders.

Emerging from this crisis, society will demand more courage and less authoritativeness from its leaders. Perhaps leaders in that society may appear more vulnerable, but they will doubtless also be more empathetic, approachable, passionate, gracious, and committed. Amid a whirlwind of uncertainty, it appears the pandemic has accelerated society’s shift toward more emotional, participatory, and efficient management models. Under this new paradigm, “doing” will become much more important than “saying.” In this edition of UNO, you will find the opinion of one of these future leaders, a member of a younger generation that is already transforming various sectors through its passion. You will also find an interview with CEOE Chairman Antonio Garamendi, who describes the challenges faced by today’s business leaders. This current moment is full of difficulties, but it holds opportunities in equal numbers. As Ramon Jauregui expresses in this edition, society needs solid, exemplary, responsible, and sustainable leaders now more than ever. Whoever adapts fastest to that new reality, whoever correctly interprets the changing tides, will go into the future with a significant advantage in securing their success. It appears the pandemic has accelerated society’s shift toward more emotional, participatory, and efficient management models.
