Abstract

Generations of managers have adapted successfully to deal with the implications of Four Industrial Revolutions. Some of this adaptation has been contextual and relates mainly (but not exclusively) to a particular period. However, it is possible also to identify core competences that appear to apply whatever the period and may still be relevant in the new dynamic environment of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. These are as follows: agile governance and adaptability to make change work effectively—‘know thyself’, collaborates to create and share knowledge and information—‘know why’, engages and develops the workforce—‘know how to behave’, ‘integrates multiple systems and processes and seeks continuous improvement—‘know-how’, takes effective action to deliver results, and the ability to convert strategy into actionable plans and outcomes—‘know what’. These five competences form that basis of a model for the making of the modern manager.
