In this episode of Before The Tipping Point where AI and Sustainability meet Climate Leadership, Craig Whitton (Authentik Consulting & Training) breaks down a hard truth: the only difference between disruption and transformation is leadership.

You’ll hear Craig unpack the leadership behavior that turns chaos into progress fast, what it looks like in the first 72 hours-plus how “values-based leadership” gets tested at the real decision points: money, speed, and politics. He also shares what it takes to lead community-centered change without backlash, and balancing student needs, community concerns, and institutional constraints.

If you’re leading through volatility-AI acceleration, climate pressure, operational disruption, this episode is your resilience playbook.
