Leadership - what is the role we play when there is an absence of credible leadership? Leaders need to take accountability and set the new direction. Leaders need to listen more. We could all listen more. We need to Be More Human, use honesty and empathy in the workplace because people have had to be very adaptable. Many leaders are feeling burdened and pressurised. It will be useful to Stop. Reflect. Check In. with others and with ourselves knowing that we are always juggling balls. Some are glass and can’t afford to be dropped whilst other are bouncy and can be caught again.

Radical Business: We cannot change what has occurred, but we can change how we do things from now on. We live in an age of global crises, from spiralling income inequality to the climate emergency. Businesses have been major contributors to the problems we face, but they are also uniquely well-placed to effect positive change. John Davis, best-selling author and award-winning business school professor, argues the changes needed are surprisingly simple. The difficulty lies in the effort to change human behavior and to dismantle decades of investment that reinforces obsolete practices. We can no longer ignore that established ways of doing business pose real existential threats to humankind. We cannot change what has occurred, but we can change how we do things from now on. Join us on the 28th of June as host Faith Mangope talks to John Davis about the importance of business leaders putting societal values at the heart of their business and shift from being makers of goods and become forces for good.
