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.
