Episode 2 - Leading Through Adversity, with Professor Ken Sloan
DATE: 10 March 2021
HOST:
David Webley, Founder & MD of Granite Consulting
GUEST:
Professor Ken Sloan - Dep. Vice Chancellor, Monash University
This conversation explores the evolving corporate landscape and challenges leaders now face on a day to day basis. It includes the importance of nurturing the right mindset that enables a leader to leverage the opportunities that adversity can present.
INSIGHT 1 2016 was a pivotal year. As much as 2020 has transformed the world, 2016 was when there were a number of unexpected changes (such as BREXIT and the US election result) that marked a turn in the pendulum and started presenting substantial new challenges and adversity for leaders to navigate.
INSIGHT 2 The challenges of new ways of working are equal to the benefits. Leaders need to nurture a balanced and optimistic mindset that is both empathetic to how different people may be impacted, as well as proactive to leverage the opportunities it presents.
INSIGHT 3 Leaders need to move beyond response mode. The leader's 'to do' list should not only include tactical items that are reactive by nature, but should also include proactive items that are 'operational' and 'strategic'.
