AI-driven leadership and hybrid skill demand reshape workplaces in Spain and Peru

A study by Esade highlights that rapid technological change and AI are forcing companies to adopt new leadership models. Executives must be adaptable, strategic and empathetic, with continuous training becoming essential to navigate volatility and uncertainty.

In Peru, employers are seeking hybrid professionals who combine expertise in AI, data analysis and automation with business, communication and sector‑specific knowledge. CEOs and educators note that technology is no longer confined to technical roles, and that around 44% of core competencies are expected to evolve in the next five years, according to the World Economic Forum. Universities are revising curricula to embed digital and strategic skills, aiming to prepare graduates for this shifting labor market.
