For this episode, David is joined by Rajeev Kapur, who is a leading tech executive, leader, innovator, AI expert, and author whose current focus is on leadership.  The world is changing at a pace that we have never seen before. Navigating this change and continuing to thrive requires a different way of leading, which is what this fascinating and informative episode is all about.

Rajeev’s book Chase Greatness: Enlightened Leadership for the Generation of Disruption is an important read.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• We are experiencing massive disruption in the workplace, so leadership needs to change.

• A culture of gratitude is transformative.
• AI is already disrupting and creating a huge wave of creativity.

ABOUT THE SHOW
People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.
