A Brilliant Gamble

Episode 1: The Punks in Suits Podcast - Helping Leaders Work Out How to Lead in Fast Changing Times

Episode Summary

In Episode 1 of the Punks in Suits Podcast I introduce myself and some of the themes of the podcast to come. The world is changing and we're not in the Industrial Age anymore. That means how we see leadership has to change too. But most models of leadership are based on Industrial Age approaches to managing people as if they are poorly functioning machines, and they simply don''t work any more. In this podcast I share what's changing, why it matters and what shifts in perspectives you can make to really make a difference in your organisation whether you're a member of the Board or an individual contributor without a team. In Episode 1 we cover my inspirations and why I do the work I do, the part that ego plays in leadership and the price leaders pay for that, the need to create gangs of leaders rather than trying to be the lone hero and why on earth this show is called Punks in Suits. Please comment, rate, review and share this podcast! I'm @blairelyspalmer on Instagram and @blairepalmer on twitter. I look forward to hearing from you!
