The definition of “premium” talent has evolved. Today’s high-impact leaders aren’t defined by pedigree alone — they are skill-deep, AI-aware, and outcome-driven. Like big cats, they don’t appear in every jungle.   And the search for such talent isn’t about widening the net. It’s about narrowing the focus.   The conversation is shifting from “Who looks impressive?” to “Who can deliver in complex, fast-moving environments?” That shift demands more than access — it demands knowing where to look.   In this session, we’ll explore how mid–senior leadership hiring is evolving in 2026, how AI and new business models are reshaping expectations, and how recruiters can more precisely identify, shortlist, and close the top 5% of management talent.
