The year 2025 is well underway. Discussions around leadership, corporate responsibility, and emerging technologies are gaining momentum. One of the dominant topics: Artificial Intelligence (AI). The question is no longer if AI will reshape our working world. But how we as leaders will actively and responsibly shape this transformation.

Here are my updated Seven Leadership Trends for 2025, with a special focus on AI:

1) Keep it simple – even with AI

Technology should not add complexity—it should remove it. AI tools must help simplify operations and workflows. Leadership today means choosing smart solutions and applying them with purpose and clarity.

2) Redesign your leadership style

AI-powered performance tracking tools are valuable—but only when embedded into a transparent and human-centered leadership culture. Clear communication of expectations, shared purpose, and trust remain essential in a data-driven environment.

3) Invest in human capital 2.0

AI can handle tasks, but not inspire people. That’s why it’s more important than ever to invest in human potential — through feedback culture, continuous learning, and meaningful work. AI is a tool, not a substitute for leadership.

4) Do less, lead more – empowered by AI

Use AI to offload administrative burdens and focus on actual leadership. Let your teams take ownership and make decisions, supported by intelligent insights. Mistakes become learning moments. Leadership is about creating that space consciously.

5) Rethink “working hours”

The 9-to-5 model is outdated. With AI-powered systems, performance and growth can be tracked flexibly. Leaders must move beyond presence-based logic and focus on outcomes, purpose, and autonomy.

6) Make AI work for you

Leaders need to understand AI and make it work for them—not the other way around. From strategic planning to recruiting and performance analysis, AI should enhance your decision-making, not replace your judgment.

7) Just do it

Leadership is not theory—it’s practice. The best leaders learn by doing, especially in complex and tech-driven environments. Every person in an organization is like an atom—their energy and contribution matter. Decisiveness and openness are more critical than ever.

1) Keep it simple
Over the past three years, the importance to move away from complex structures and simplify organisations became clear to me. Not only it will help companies to be better equipped to face the challenges of the fast-paced markets, but it will also help employees to focus more on practical and rewarding tasks. For more insight on this topic, you should have a look at the Deloitte’s Global Human Capital Trends report.

2) Redesign your management style
Paying extra attention to your performance management process is what is going to make your organisation stand out in the next couple of years. It is crucial to establish communication in which leaders outline what they expect from their employers regarding goals and ways to measure their completion to achieve this success, Indeed a goal-oriented strategy gives employees clarity and a higher motivation to achieve their goals.

3) Invest in ‘human capital.’
The “Overwhelmed Employee” syndrome has been an enormous issue in companies stuck in an old generation mid-level management for years. In addition to that, the arrival of young workers thirsty for meaningful projects to work on is a factor to take into account certainly. Corporations need to invest more time into creating space for their employees to give them honest feedback (anonymous surveys might be an option). Not only, but it will also help them to achieve better success and to retain their workforce who will feel supported.

4) Do less, lead more
HR and managers have increasingly become process designers. Leadership and management problems are simple by nature and what we as leaders need to do is to use trial and error methods in our managing style. We do this by letting our employees make more decisions and accepting that they might not get it right the first time. Our ability to do less and lead more makes us better leaders.

—Rakams aims Forced Therapy as the new company cure for 2018, until 2020.

—RAKAMS provide the implementation which is natural to recognize with facts.

When we have established RAKAMS, we intend to change the view of the company owners. How he sees the need of that the employees get Sales Motivation, extend their capabilities for Sales, get a different technical skill to perform better sales or alike to name a few.

Why our approach is to target the Leadership of a company first?

The owner wants to understand when he spends money to engage a professional team for teaching the Employers what his gain will be. Here we come in and start. Our Motives are the same.! Result Driven.  We want that the company results are value added from the first moment we are involved.

Our approach is only needed if the Leadership accept the principles. We have a win-win situation; we are sure about our result. We call this understanding; Forced Therapy – natural to recognise.
