What are the challenges and expectations from leadership in
the new normal? Leaders and business practitioners address
these issues from a practical perspective in this volume titled
‘Leadership in the new normal,’ published by TDW publishers.

At the core of an entrepreneur’s focus is to be more humane
and this emerged clearly during the pandemic. The new normal
created all kinds of knowledge-centric, data and technology-
driven end enterprises than ever before. In short,we have
seen the heralding of the knowledge economy, or to be more
exact, the transition that’s happening is towards the knowledge
economy enterprise scenario. Manufacturing, agriculture, services
and commerce are all knowledge-intensive and data-driven
activities. The new realities emerging in ‘today’s normal’ will
alter and transform leadership challenges in the days to come.
The leadership of businesses and also that of the managers
have to be much more humane not just in the human resource
management approach but also in the way they approach and
put resources into use. Principles of sustainability are emerging
at the core of businesses.

New normal expects responsible leadership. But how can a
leader be responsible and humane and what are those dimensions?
What does it imply for business leadership?
