Being in a leadership role today is no easy task. With nonstop challenges coming from all directions—technology, global events, workplace culture shifts—it can feel like you're constantly being pulled in opposite directions.

In this episode of Today in Tech, Keith Shaw talks with Robert Siegel, Stanford lecturer and author of The Systems Leader, about how managers and executives can lead more effectively during turbulent times. Drawing from real-world examples and research, Robert shares a new leadership approach built for today’s fast-paced, high-pressure environment.

You’ll hear stories from leaders at companies like Nike, Box, and 23andMe—and learn how they manage competing demands like:

Delivering results while also driving innovation

Balancing global strategy with local needs

Showing strength without losing empathy

Keeping up with internal goals and external expectations

Whether you’re a CEO, a CIO, or managing a team for the first time, this conversation will give you a fresh, practical perspective on what modern leadership really requires.
