Innovating Leadership: Co-Creating Our Future

S2-Ep37: Navigating the Global Storm: Rethinking Leadership for the Future with Cynthia Cherrey


Listen Later

Guests: Cynthia Cherrey, CEO of the International Leadership Association

There is no single solution. That truism is hard-won wisdom from the leadership experience of guest Cynthia Cherrey. From both research and practice, she’s learned that the issues leaders face are far more complicated than most of us realize.

 

That’s particularly true today, with a surge in confusion and chaos cascading from the global and national levels right down to the teams we lead. Fortunately, Cynthia shares ways to navigate through it all to stay balanced, focused, and help your teams  thrive.

Here's what Cynthia and host Maureen Metcalf cover:

  1. Cynthia’s unique leadership perspectives as the first college graduate from a rural Minnesota family;
  2. Why you need global thinking, even when you strive to “keep it local”; and
  3. The extreme importance of experimentation and flexibility in your organization…and in your own leadership.
  4. Produced in conjunction with the International Leadership Association: https://ilaglobalnetwork.org.
