Neel Arya, founder of Mettle Consulting, and Helen discuss the attributes needed by today's leaders, operating at the limits of their organisational structure and traditional problem-solving. Rather than definitive answers, we debate:
- Approaching the zone of confusion through child-like eyes.
- How do you create a space where people feel safe and can bring their true selves? The mindset needed for serious play.
- Vertical development for leaders.
- The importance of emotions in leadership and the workplace.
- The role of serendipity in success.
- Why we should be wary of case studies holding up organisations as exemplars in innovation.
- Doughnut economics and how systemic change might be needed.
- The importance of divergent thinking to hold potential futures lightly.
- The strengths needed by leaders and how that might differ for corporations versus start-ups
