Five leadership styles. Most run on instinct. Few use structure. That gap? It drives outcomes. In a world that rewards speed and certainty, the best decisions come from something else: Structure. Perspective. Curiosity. https://krnfy.bz/4aaYHrN

POV: you’re qualified…but still not getting the interview. Here’s why. Jobs are changing faster than hiring (and resumes) can keep up.

Most job searches fall into one of two traps: Applying to everything… or preparing for nothing. Neither works. The strongest searches don’t start with resumes, they start with clarity. What you want.

We’ve all noticed the wars, the inflation, the crazy stock market swings, and all the other unpredictable, impactful events of 2026. Leaders have too, but instead of taking major actions around them, many are opting to shrug more of them off (AI being an exception). Korn Ferry’s experts look into why so many leaders are shifting how they once reacted to so called black swan events. Then, we look at whether companies are going to use AI to cover for employees going on summer vacation. Plus, we have advice for recent graduates about how to improve their skills while they look for a job.

Trying to get hired in 2026 be like... We've seen that 70% of roles are filled by internal candidates or referrals. If you are in the job market now the best way to stand out is with self-awareness about your goals, what makes you unique, networking, and a very clear story about yourself. And probably a good idea to leave the gymnastics and juggling at home.
Getting a job and keeping a job feels WAY more complicated than it used to right now. Take out the guesswork and navigate it the right way with Korn Ferry. Here are the facts. • Up to 70% of roles are filled by internal candidates or referrals. (Yes, really.) • Self-awareness now beats credentials. Strengths, blind spots, motivations, fit - interviews and assessments test for all of it, not just the technical stuff. • Your résumé is about 10% of what lands the offer. The other 90% is the story you're telling online and in the room.
