The episode discusses the evolving nature of leadership and the importance of human-centred approaches in a changing working world.

At a time when demands for productivity are greater than at any point in recent memory, human leadership is more important than ever. In this episode of The HR Leader Podcast, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Human Leadership Lab founder and chief executive May Samali about the evolving nature of leadership, leaders' cognisance of the need for human-centred approaches, whether workers retain the same reverence for leaders as in years gone by, the headline challenges facing leaders right now, the need to be more holistic in managing staff, balancing short-term issues against taking a longer-term approach to the business, and what HR's role is in all of this.
