Leadership Unlimited

What does it take to lead in a rapidly evolving world?

Part one of this series begins by exploring “strong leaders” in traditional communities, like Borneo’s Iban tribe. It then compares the effectiveness of dictatorial sports managers - like Sir Alex Fergusen - against the collective leadership of the New Zealand All-Blacks. In contemporary contexts, there is a clear shift towards seeking “collective genius”. Case studies on the Navy SEALs, Pixar, and W.L. Gore demonstrate that anybody can be a leader at any one time. 

Part two examines the concept of resilient leaders. The Gobi Desert Challenge grooms top corporate executives by making them exercise leadership muscles in extremely tough terrain. Also, what are the merits of working abroad? Singaporean chef Matthew Leong reveals why he chose a posting at the other end of the world in Finland. Leadership Unlimited offers a fresh lens on leadership today, presenting new forms of leadership taking root and reshaping organisations.
