Leadership Mistakes That Create Risk — and How to Fix Them

1 hour 2 minutes

In this episode, host Michelle Pascoe sits down with global crisis and risk management expert Christine Miller. Together, they unpack how CEOs and executives can close the "leadership gap" by transforming uncertainty into strategic opportunity.

Drawing on decades of global work with the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, and emergency services, Christine reveals how empowering your mid-level leaders to assess and manage risk protects your brand, culture, and bottom line.

Michelle and Christine discuss:

The real leadership gap — how excluding middle managers from risk decisions weakens organisations

Crisis-tested lessons from Christine’s global disaster work with governments and corporations

Why proactive risk management fuels innovation, culture, and trust

The role of AI in risk, resilience, and real-time decision-making

Practical steps to embed “risk thinking” in leadership systems
