Syllabus

Chapter 1 - Leading with purpose, meaning, & impact. Business has never been more personal: We look at new definitions of happiness, success and purpose and how new generations are redefining their relationship to work.

Chapter 2 - Navigating paradox. Contradictions, hidden or in plain sight, are a given in today’s context. The challenge is how we tackle them.

Chapter 3 - A smarter framework for leadership. The traditional idea of leadership is not broken or outdated. But what’s expected from leaders is different.

Chapter 4 - Rethinking the notion of work. There is a revolution taking place in how individuals organize their work, create value and measure success. The same goes for organizations. How do leaders respond?

Chapter 5 - Dealing with Uncertain times. We will look at how paradox, ambiguity, volatility and fragility rule our decision-making.
