With the recent news that both McDonalds and Starbucks are feeling the effects of worldwide boycotts , we discuss what organisations can do to avoid them and how Agile Leadership can navigate a different path through such turbulent times.With reputations at stake, leaders often have difficult choices to make. On the one hand stay silent and risk being considered complicit or speak up and antagonise a segment of your customer base. Join us as we explore how to effectively lead in such a challenging environment. We'll share thoughts from academia, some real-world examples before ending on a range of options that leaders should consider in order to better connect with the world around them. As ever plenty to discuss and ponder over.
