Benedict Allen is described by a British newspaper as one of the top 10 British explorers of all time. Benedict is also an environmentalist, film-maker and author of a number of books, including “Mad White Giant”, “Into The Crocodile Nest” and “Hunting the Gugu.”
In our conversation we cover a number of topics which are very relevant for leaders: how to adapt to changing circumstances; how to manage risk and uncertainty; the mindset required for surviving and indeed thriving in high consequence environments; what we can learn from indigenous cultures about change, about cause and effect, about resources and resourcefulness.

Dave Kesby is an organizational coach and author of the book “Extra-Dependent Teams: Realising the Power of Similarity”, in which he challenges much of the conventional wisdom of teams.
As he writes in his introduction, “through the lens of convention a lot of the features of Extra-Dependent Teams are misdiagnosed as faults: working apart is seen as working in silos, lack of interdependency is seen as uncollaborative, and working only towards their individual goal is seen as not being a team player.”
Dave served in The British Army for seven years before turning to a career in organizational and leadership development. He combines military, academic, corporate and volunteering experiences to provide a fresh and challenging perspective on what it means to lead, as well as be part of a team.

We all wish that our lives were a little less complex: as Jennifer Berger explains in her latest book on the subject, while humans are brilliantly designed for operating in a less connected, more predictable world, we all run the risk of falling victim to 5 “mindtraps” that can significantly hinder our growth, agility and effectiveness when faced with complexity. The good news: she offers several approaches for escaping from these unproductive patterns of behavior, enablers leaders to take advantage of complexity rather than be overwhelmed by it.
