Episode notes

Rethinking the sole reliance on GDP as a measure of a country's success is crucial, as it fails to capture important aspects such as unpaid care. Embracing a more holistic approach where happiness and well-being are prioritized is key. The traditional leadership model has marginalized women who don't conform to the male leadership style, but there's a shift towards more authentic and emotionally intelligent female leadership, which ultimately leads to better outcomes. However, there is still progress needed in recognizing and embracing this feminine model of leadership.

Original broadcast date: April 29, 2022. From workplaces to schools to national governments, leaders everywhere are being called on to solve complex problems with humility and bravery.
