5. Disrupting Leadership

This week’s Podcast focuses on the topic of disruption withinleadership.I believe that it’s no use talking about being disruptorif you are not prepared to be disrupted yourself.  This is why we have appointed an ‘ExpeditionDisruptor’ and very deliberately built diversity into the Expedition Team.Our expedition disruptor is Lissa Young, who makes thecase for disrupting from the inside, something she has a long track record ofdoing in the US army. She illustrates her case with the story of how gay andlesbians became accepted in the military. An issue she was at the centre of. Lissa also speaks on the topic of gender and describesherself as a ‘gender outlaw’. Diversity is built into our group of expedition members.Here Camilla Pontual from Brazil makes it very clear that in her eyesleadership is not what white western CEO women do, it’s what women in the favelasdo. And Katyan Guryeva  illustrates justwhy diversity of age is so crucial and central.
