Being a great leader means you can’t lead alone anymore. The leadership paradigm is changing.

In this episode, Maureen speaks with Patrick Sweet (Center for Creative Leadership) and Peter Cunningham (Geneva Centre for Security Policy) about the evolving nature of leadership. They explore how leadership is no longer just an individual endeavor, but a collective practice, emphasizing adaptability, cultural sensitivity, and resilience. From navigating post-conflict trauma to balancing polarities like continuity and change, this conversation offers powerful insights for growing your leadership – especially if your firm works across borders.

Here’s what Peter, Patrick and Maureen cover:

  • Why effective leadership is now collective, shared within your team;
  • How our multigenerational and multicultural workforces require greater adaptability in your leadership skills; and
  • With today’s social and political divides, the need to navigate opposing “truths,” the find and leverage what your team members (and customers and stakeholders) have in common.
