About this episode

The episode discusses the evolving demands on leadership with expert Kevin Cashman, focusing on key dimensions such as purpose, courage, and self-awareness.

What do leaders need to move their teams forward with clarity? In the first episode of our new series, host Paul Laudicina talks to leadership expert Kevin Cashman about how the demands on leadership are changing and what lies ahead for leaders. They explore dimensions of leadership that are more important than ever: purpose, courage, integrated thinking, inclusion, and self-awareness. And they examine how pauses and even times of pain can engender powerful growth and breakthrough. In this new series, we look not just at how we got here, but, more importantly at what comes next — the green shoots pushing through the cracks. We explore the breakthroughs ahead and the choices we can make now to shape a brighter future. Reimagining the Future: Envisioning What's Next is produced by the Global Business Policy Council at Kearney, a think tank that deciphers sweeping geopolitical, economic, social, and technological changes and their effects on the global business environment.
