| 5/25/25 | 404 Futurist Thinking at Work: Regenerating Teams from the Inside Out with Donna Dupont | We explore the power of systems thinking and strategic foresight with futurist Donna Dupont, as we challenge assumptions about leadership, innovation, and our collective future. Zoë shares an exciting update on her new book Power Games launching on Kickstarter, and we dive into the emerging vision of a moon-based data centre and what it means for the future of digital infrastructure. In this episode, Donna brings clarity to the often-misunderstood world of foresight work. She breaks down how mapping complexity, anticipatory thinking, and systems framing can shift the way leaders respond to crises, craft policy, and design for change. From Arctic policy to leadership development, this conversation unpacks how to lead with deeper awareness in an increasingly unpredictable world. SHOWNOTES are here: https://www.zoerouth.com/podcast/regenerating-teams-from-inside-out Planet Human: LoneStar's moonshot: Data centres on the lunar surface by 2025 https://www.reuters.com/technology/space/lonestars-moonshot-firm-aims-place-data-center-lunar-surface-2025-01-21/ Power Games Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zoerouth/power-games-stop-toxic-power-in-the-workplace Key Quotes: "Strategic foresight isn't about predicting the future. It's about preparing to act in it with intelligence and compassion." – Donna Dupont "When we slow down to map the system, we see possibilities we couldn't before." – Zoë Routh "Every assumption is a doorframe some keep us safe, some keep us stuck." – Donna Dupont Questions Asked: What is strategic foresight, and why is it critical for future-ready leadership? How can leaders build the capacity to map complex systems in times of uncertainty? What role does anticipatory thinking play in solving today's wicked problems? How do we challenge deeply held assumptions that limit innovation and inclusive decision-making? Take Action: Identify one system you're part of (team, community, organisation) and begin mapping its inputs, outputs, and actors. Use Donna's approach: define the system's boundaries, identify the stakeholders, and uncover any blind spots. Bring this framework into your next strategic conversation and notice what shifts. Tip of the Week: Host a "Future Now" workshop: Gather your team and spend 60 minutes exploring trends, weak signals, and strategic responses using foresight tools. Even one hour can unlock radically different insights. | — | ||||||
| 5/18/25 | 403 Organisational Design and the Future of Work with Susannah Robinson | We explore the vital intersection of organisational design, leadership culture, and power dynamics with special guest Susannah Robinson, author of Beyond the Boxes and Lines. Zoë kicks off the episode with exciting updates on the Power Games Kickstarter campaign and a groundbreaking Planet Human segment on brain-computer interfaces that enable near real-time speech interpretation for paralysed individuals. Then we dive into the conversation with Susannah, who brings over 30 years of HR and organisational design experience. She shares practical frameworks for rethinking job roles, enhancing collaboration, and resolving structural friction in organisations. Together, we unpack what causes cultural breakdowns, the consequences of poorly implemented matrix structures, and why flatter hierarchies may not be the magic bullet many leaders believe they are. SHOWNOTES are here: https://www.zoerouth.com/podcast/organisational-design Planet Human: Brain implant enables a paralysed woman's thoughts to be streamed into speech https://singularityhub.com/2025/03/31/brain-implant-streams-a-paralyzed-womans-thoughts-as-if-shes-speaking-in-near-real-time Kickstarter Campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zoerouth/power-games-stop-toxic-power-in-the-workplace Key Quotes "When the person leaves the role, we finally take the lid off the pot and discover everything they were actually doing." – Susannah Robinson "Leadership today isn't just about giving direction, it's about managing your impact." – Susannah Robinson "Collaboration needs good structure. Culture is the bridge." – Zoë Routh Questions Asked What triggers the need for a redesign of organisational structures? How can job design improve retention and employee engagement? What are the common friction points in team handoffs and collaboration? How do flatter hierarchies shift leadership expectations? What structural patterns lead to power struggles and office politics? How should leaders handle stonewalling behaviour in the workplace? Take Action Audit your structure. When someone leaves, resist the urge to simply refill the role. Ask: could we do this differently? Map job design. Identify overlaps, friction points, and gaps in role clarity especially where handoffs occur. Assess your collaboration culture. Are your incentive systems and tools aligned with teamwork, or unintentionally rewarding lone wolves? Educate your teams. Use visual tools (like "five guys, one piano" teamwork analogy or org charts) to demystify structure and process. Normalise discomfort. Have the hard conversations about misalignment, underperformance, or mismatched roles with compassion and clarity. Tip of the Week Before you flatten your hierarchy or shift to team-based models, first ensure your systems (incentives, tools, contracts) are designed to support that culture. Otherwise, you're simply rearranging the dysfunction.

| 5/12/25 | 402 Utopian Concepts and Entrepreneurial Writing with Elle Griffin | We explore the future of ownership, wealth, and rewriting the rules of capitalism with Elle Griffin, founder of The Elysian and author of the upcoming book We Should Own the Economy. Zoë shares updates on her recent bushwalking adventure and the exciting Kickstarter launch for her new book Power Games. Then, she welcomes Elle, a visionary writer reshaping the conversation on who truly benefits from economic systems. Elle shares her journey from journalist to entrepreneurial writer, how she built multiple revenue streams on Substack, and why she believes ownership—not employment—is the real source of power. We unpack the risks and rewards of decentralising ownership, how employee-owned companies could transform wealth distribution, and what fiction can do to help us imagine better futures. This conversation dives deep into economic systems, leadership identity, and why utopian thinking is more urgent than ever.

If you own a business, you hold the levers of wealth creation." - Elle Griffin "We need stories that give us hope, not just warn us of collapse." - Elle Griffin "Leadership requires humility and curiosity—the antidote to hubris and manipulation." - Zoë Routh Questions Asked: - What inspired Elle to move from journalism to entrepreneurial writing? - How do employee-owned companies shift the wealth equation? - Why are we so drawn to dystopian narratives, and what role does fiction play in shaping the future? - What are the practical steps to decentralise power and create more economic inclusion? Take Action: - Reflect on your own business or organisation: Who holds the power, and who shares in the rewards? - Explore models of employee ownership or equity participation as part of your leadership strategy. - Join conversations that imagine better futures—whether in your workplace or your community. Tip of the Week: Start your own Future of Work conversation with your team: -What could a more equitable and collaborative model look like for us? -How might we experiment with shared ownership, decision-making, or profit-sharing in small ways today?

| 5/4/25 | 401 What's Your Fight Language with Lena Morgan | We explore the future of communication through the lens of conflict, with Lena Morgan, former midwife turned conflict resolution specialist. Zoë shares updates from Planet Human, reflecting on the scathing insights from the Edelman Trust Barometer and her return from the Australian Alpine Walking Track. The Kickstarter for her latest book, Power Games, is on the horizon. Then we welcome Lena Morgan, creator of The Fight Languages. Lena unpacks how understanding our instinctive conflict responses can turn tension into connection. Drawing on her experience in high-stress environments, she shares how organisations can transform culture by decoding these 'fight languages.' This episode delves into how somatic intelligence, leadership presence, and emotional fluency are crucial in today's polarised environments. SHOWNOTES are here: https://www.zoerouth.com/podcast/conflict-resolution-fight-languages Power Games: https://www.zoerouth.com/power-games Zoë's Substack: https://substack.com/@zoerouth Planet Human: Edelman Trust Barometer reveals collapsing trust in key institutions, with growing class divides and despair. https://www.edelman.com/trust-barometer Key Quotes: "Conflict is information—it tells us what matters most to people." – Lena Morgan "Assume self-interest, not good intent. That's how we keep eyes wide open and hearts open." – Zoë Routh "We all stay in the fight too long. The real skill is knowing when to pause and pivot." – Lena Morgan Questions Asked: What are the five fight languages and how do they show up in teams? How can leaders manage their own conflict response before addressing others'? Why is somatic intelligence essential in high-stakes conversations? How can we better support extinguishers, amplifiers, and analyzers in a workplace? Take Action: Notice your personal conflict pattern. Are you an igniter, amplifier, negotiator, analyzer, or extinguisher? Use Lena's techniques to pause and pivot—whether it's through movement, silence, or strategic escape. Open dialogue with your team about how they experience tension. Use the fight language framework to foster mutual understanding. Tip of the Week Create a "fight language map" with your team. Identify each member's default response and explore ways to better support one another in high-tension moments.

Zoë shares reflections on billionaire-owned media and the future of truth-seeking in journalism, and updates us on her Australian Alpine walking track adventure and upcoming Kickstarter for Power Games. Then, we welcome Dr. Robert Wolf, author of Not a Real Enemy, a gripping biography of his father's extraordinary journey through Nazi and Communist Hungary. Rob shares the harrowing yet hopeful story of his father's four-time escape from tyranny, how he rebuilt his life as a doctor in America, and why this story of resilience, compassion, and miracles needs to be told now more than ever.

| 3/30/25 | 396 Semester at Sea: Building Sustainable and Inclusive Futures with Scott Marshall | We explore the power of challenging assumptions and building regenerative societies with innovative software called Regen.

He also provides practical advice for fostering intercultural sensitivity in the workplace. This episode dives deep into experiential education, leadership, and creating inclusive environments SHOWNOTES are here: https://www.zoerouth.com/podcast/legal-challenges-workplace-dynamics Key Quotes: "When we expose ourselves to diverse perspectives, we expand our understanding of the world and ourselves." – Zoë Routh "Curiosity pushes us into spaces of discomfort, and that's where we grow." – Scott Marshall "We can't just assume that a one-day workshop on diversity will transform a workplace. It's about a long-term commitment to embracing different perspectives." – Scott Marshall Questions Asked: 1. How does Semester at Sea create a transformative learning experience? 2. What are the key leadership lessons from immersing in global cultures? 3. How can organisations foster curiosity and intercultural awareness in the workplace? 4.

Tip of the Week Engage in a "curiosity challenge"—for one week, actively seek to learn something new about a culture, history, or perspective that is outside your usual sphere.

SHOWNOTES are here Key Quotes "More brains equal more magic. DEI is about systemic change, not just representation." – Zoë Routh "The real question isn't whether DEI should exist but how it should evolve." – Zoë Routh "Bias exists.

| 2/16/25 | 390 Engaging with Values: Balancing Tradition and Progress in Leadership | We explore the future of leadership, focusing on cognitive levels, emotional intelligence, and trust with Todd Hollow Bist. We discuss the importance of self-awareness, using presence to regulate emotions, and fostering breakthrough conversations in challenging environments. We consider the role of psychological age in leadership, how dialectic thinking can drive innovation, and practical techniques for building trust and enhancing team dynamics. SHOWNOTES are here. Key Quotes "Our work begins with understanding, not judgment, seeking common ground through shared strengths." Zoë Routh "The brain wants to grow, but ambiguity and stress can push us down in cognitive levels." – Todd Hollow Bist "Presence is the muscle we use to stay at our best cognitive levels and resist being triggered into reactive behaviour." – Todd Hollow Bist "Leadership is about understanding people at a deeper level—not just what they say, but how they feel about it." – Todd Hollow Bist Questions Asked How can leaders have breakthrough conversations in a polarised world? What are cognitive levels, and how do they shape leadership effectiveness? How does psychological age affect adult behaviour in leadership settings? What is dialectic thinking, and how can it lead to innovative conversations? What are practical ways to develop greater self-awareness as a leader? Take Action Reflect on how ambiguity and stress influence your decision-making and emotional responses. Practise presence as a way to regulate emotions and maintain leadership effectiveness. Engage in dialectic thinking: next time you have a disagreement, focus on understanding the other person's feelings, not just their argument. Observe how psychological age manifests in yourself and your team. Are you reacting from a mature, adult state or reverting to earlier behavioural patterns?
