Oxford professor Karthik Ramanna joins us to unpack how to lead with humility and temperance in the age of outrage—so you can build trust, lower the temperature, and keep your team thriving in polarized times.

Outrage is everywhere—at work, online, even in our group chats. So how do you lead when everyone’s on edge? In this episode, we sit down with Oxford professor and Age of Outrage author Karthik Ramanna to talk about the leadership trait almost no one is talking about (but everyone needs): temperance.

We get into:

• Why outrage is spiking in workplaces and beyond
• How trust is built (and destroyed) in polarized times
• The underrated power of humility in leadership
• When to speak up vs. when to step back
• Why small promises + big delivery beats bold hype every time

Whether you’re running a Fortune 500 or a team of five, this conversation will give you the tools to keep your cool, earn trust, and lead well—without losing yourself in the noise.
