New Global Mind: Leadership for Systems Transformation episodes

  • Leading in Chaos

    Unprocessed trauma is a governance risk — especially intimes of sustained uncertainty.
    But there is a second, often unspoken dimension of leadership in complexity: the capacity to access deeper judgement, intuition, and purpose — the “hidden chamber” that sits beneath the surface of rational decision-making.


    In this segment, host Sandja Brügmann and Amy Elizabeth Fox explore how emotional maturity and trauma‑informed leadership shape executive decision logic, risk‑taking, alignment, and sustained execution in complex, high‑pressure environments.

    They frame trauma‑informed leadership not as a wellbeing initiative, but as a business imperative for coherent strategy and action in a BANI world — one that is Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, and Incomprehensible.

    Amy Elizabeth Fox discusses the urgent need for inner healing, systemic change, and mature sense‑making, emphasising how spiritual grounding and emotional regulation directly influence organisational performance and leadership effectiveness under sustained uncertainty.

    This conversation addresses one critical dimension of leadership capability. Vertical development is essential for the evolution of the mind towards a synthetic strategic level — a level of capability required to perceive and shape the transition to a clean economy within planetary and system constraints.

    This sits at the core of the New Global Mind inquiry.

  • Overcoming fear in a changing world

    I think it's very obvious that many of us feel a strong fear now and that this fear is overstated. We show more fear than isrelevant in this situation. And one thing, of course, we should do is to take a deep breath and ask ourselves, is it really so frightening and so dangerous as we believe? Is it truly so that our world is changing in a way that is like in the 1930s, for instance, with fascism in Europe and so on. Is it the same thinghappening? And is it impossible? if it is happening to counteract it and to resist it. And I think we have a tendency to be more fearful than we have reason to be and to be less confident of ourselves than we have reason to be because it's so novel. It's so surprising to us that anyone could go out andsay there's no climate crisis.

    Shownotes

    we're, trying to problem solve all of these crises, but we'll never problem solve without first shifting.

    In a sense, it's a worldview shift to understand. the premise of my work is the economy is not a machine. It's a living system. And, there is a science of living systems. It's called living system science. And we've learned an awful lot about living systems in the past 50 years that we didn't know before that. But economics as a discipline and business and business management as a discipline, all predated.

    the emergence of, we could simplify and just call it ecology, but it's a much more sophisticated understanding of how living systems from the microscopic right up to the planet itself and cosmologists believe the entire universe actually work.
