Now, back to our conversation with Tomas.
I think that leaders and us at Russell Reynolds are particularly concerned.
You know, look, I'll say in the CFO practice, we always talk about where are the next CFOs going to come from if we don't have kids going into audit and public accounting and learning some of that data entry and making mistakes on AP and AR.
That's how you learn.
And, you know, my own experience sitting in a bullpen, you know, in London in investment banking, right, listening to the more senior leaders
MDs at the time, right?
It is concerning about next gen.
And I think everybody has a role to play
in helping develop that next-gen talent.
All right, Tomas, let's shift into the topic of confidence and competence, something you've previously written about.
You point out that overconfidence may get some people into leadership roles, but it's probably not going to help them succeed.
To quote Marshall Goldsmith, what got you here won't get you there.
Tomas, tell us about the relationship between confidence and competence in order for leaders to be successful.
Tomas, we've covered a range of topics, right?
Authenticity, confidence, competence, self-talk, negativity, AI.
As we kick off a new year, what leadership trends or themes are you excited about or discovering this year?
Those are great themes.
We're excited for 2026.
Okay.
Well, we've reached the time in our show called rapid fire questions.
