This week’s Podcast focuses on the topic of disruption within
leadership.
I believe that it’s no use talking about being disruptor
if you are not prepared to be disrupted yourself. This is why we have appointed an ‘Expedition
Disruptor’ and very deliberately built diversity into the Expedition Team.
Our expedition disruptor is Lissa Young, who makes the
case for disrupting from the inside, something she has a long track record of
doing in the US army. She illustrates her case with the story of how gay and
lesbians became accepted in the military. An issue she was at the centre of.
Lissa also speaks on the topic of gender and describes
herself as a ‘gender outlaw’.
Diversity is built into our group of expedition members.
Here Camilla Pontual from Brazil makes it very clear that in her eyes
leadership is not what white western CEO women do, it’s what women in the favelas
do. And Katyan Guryeva illustrates just
why diversity of age is so crucial and central.
