Leadership in automotive and mobility is under more focus than ever.
Torque & Truth contributes to the conversation with a clear, honest view of what leadership really looks like in today’s automotive and mobility sector.
The Torque & Truth white paper distils a comprehensive analysis of all 52 Leaders Who Drive Automotive interviews, alongside 150 psychometric profiles of automotive senior leaders from Lumina Learning, synthesising perspectives from across the sector into clear, data-led insight.
The result is a compelling report that examines leadership in the automotive and mobility sector, curated into six key themes:
Strategy is aligned, capability is not
Speed has become the new competitive advantage
Cost pressure is quietly reshaping leadership behaviour
AI is everyone’s priority, but no one’s strength
The leadership pipeline is not ready for what’s next
Third party relationships are essential – and structurally difficult
On the broader subject of leadership, the white paper also explores questions of speed, organisational complexity, cost pressure, capability gaps, the evolving demands placed on leadership teams and the role of psychometric insights in understanding leadership impact.
While we cannot know for certain how leadership will evolve in this sector, these insights will help shape how we think differently about the demands placed on leaders across the sector and what leadership readiness actually means.
Senior leaders need a broader skill set than they have done previously because of the complexity of all the new technology and fast-moving, diverse cultures of new generations coming in – and the increased globalisation of products and technology suppliers.”
In today’s volatile and uncertain world, you have to adapt quickly – and in retail, that can mean changing direction daily if needed.
Every team is made up of individuals who see the world differently. These differences can drive innovation, but they can also create misunderstanding and conflict. Lumina Learning provides a practical framework to help leaders and teams understand themselves and others, enhancing communication, decision-making, and collaboration.
Our whitepaper draws on a unique dataset of automotive sector leaders and offers insight into how personality awareness can inform leadership development and improve organisational performance.
