Protests. Megaphones. Cardboard messages. Boardrooms.
When we think of activism, we imagine protestors on the streets – not C-suite executives.
But is that right?
From climate change to inequality, today’s challenges have become critical – and so has the role of organisations in them.
In this episode, we explore a new kind of leadership by talking to two people on both sides of the fence on what it truly means to be an activist, inside and outside of business, and how anyone can incite positive change through their ideas and influence.
Tune in to find out:
- Jon’s take on the different kinds of activist leaders in the world
- Why more of us might be activists than we thought
- Laura’s tips on how to navigate a business and get stuff done
- What leaders of the future will look like and how we can all play our part
