9. When leadership meets uncertainty: Dr Bayo Akomolafe on leadership pitfalls and cracks in our knowing.

from The Mandela Rhodes Foundation Podcast · host The Mandela Rhodes Foundation

What if the "clarity" we seek in leadership is actually a barrier to real transformation? In this episode, Nigerian philosopher Dr Bayo Akomolafe invites us to "slow down" and meet the "monsters" of our time - the things that don't fit into our neat categories of progress and success. From the passing of his father to the "death spirals" of ants, Bayo explores why leadership isn't a human skill we master, but an "eruption" that happens when we stay with the trouble.
