9. Leadership for a changing world
Description
From geopolitical uncertainty to climate risk, technological disruption to shifting workplace expectations, today's leaders are operating in a world that looks nothing like the one they entered. The demands are higher, the context more complex, and the need for clarity, empathy and long-term thinking has never been greater.
In this episode, we explore how leadership is being redefined, not in theory, but in lived experience.
What does it mean to lead with purpose? How do leaders stay grounded amid complexity? And what does the next era of leadership require from all of us, inside and outside the workplace?
Joined by three industry leaders — Kirshni Totaram Global Head of Institutional Business, Coronation Fund Managers, Yolanda Blanch Chairperson, Pensions Caixa 30 (PC30) and Diya Luke, Global Head of Investments, WTW — we explore the principles, practices and perspectives shaping leadership today.
