Paperback Edition
Future Talent: How different people will be tomorrow's leaders makes a bold claim: the leaders of the future are already here - they just look different from the ones we’re used to.
They are:
- Young activists driving political and social change
- Women of colour reshaping systems and speaking truth to power
- Founders creating new models of work and purpose-driven business
- Campaigners, organisers and innovators showing what courage, authenticity and leadership mean today.
Drawing on interviews, case studies and fresh research, Future Talent uncovers the people and movements reshaping power from the edges. It reveals how diverse talent is too often overlooked, dismissed or underestimated - and what happens when organisations start to see leadership differently.
Mo Kanjilal Williams uncovers:
- How global shifts, from #MeToo to Black Lives Matter, are redefining expectations of leaders
- Why Millennials and Gen Z -soon 60% of the global workforce - are demanding inclusive, values-led leadership
- Actionable frameworks and training ideas to redesign culture and leadership development for the next generation.
This book is both a wake-up call and a practical guide for organisations ready to adapt, evolve and thrive.
Tomorrow’s leaders are already leading. The question is - will today’s leaders catch up?

Key Reviews
‘At a time when Equity, Diversity and Inclusion are under attack, Mo has written an unassailable case for its significance in developing and identifying talent. This book is equally valuable to those who recruit and those with potential. Even better it solves each other’s problem: ensuring those who recruit can hire the best of those who are not yet represented, many of whom are not sure how to start.
As someone who is white, male, middle aged and middle class, I probably looked like a leader to many. But I also know that the years I spent developing and seeking others who didn’t look like me to become senior leaders, sometimes saw more success than others in doing so. This book will support others in the same situation.
Gen Z is generally clear about the kind of leaders they want, but less clear about how they might become them. Future Talent helps to fill that gap and support those most likely to be overlooked to make it to the top’.
- Alex Atherton, author of The Snowflake Myth: Explaining Gen Z in the workplace and beyond
'For most organisations today, operating complexity is unparalleled. To successfully problem-solve, mitigate risk and leverage opportunity, businesses urgently need access to a broader range of diverse minds, to think critically and bring a wider variety of perspectives to problem-solving novel challenges. Future Talent makes the compelling case for rethinking both the attributes of future leadership and the talent pipelines needed to build inclusive, adaptive and resilient organisations.'
- Cat Barnard, Director, Working the Future
