Why Leadership Is Changing - And What Comes Next

What this episode covers

Leadership is changing. The problem is—most leaders haven’t. We’re living through a moment where people are questioning everything: the systems they work in, the cultures they’re part of, and the leaders they’re expected to follow. From the Great Resignation to declining trust in institutions to an entire generation reconsidering leadership altogether, these aren’t isolated trends. They’re signals. Signals that the old model of leadership, built on performance, titles, and authority, is no longer enough. In this episode of What the Shift, Gia sits down with Anton Gunn, former senior advisor to President Obama and the world's leading authority on socially conscious leadership, to unpack what leadership actually requires now. This conversation goes beyond strategy and into something deeper: Why leadership today demands more than results What socially conscious leadership really means, and why it matters The role of self-leadership in building trust, culture, and impact Why so many people are walking away from systems that no longer align with their values And what the next generation of leaders is forcing us to confront You can’t build better systems with leaders who haven’t learned to lead themselves. If you’ve been questioning how you lead, or what leadership even means now, this conversation will challenge you to think differently. Learn more about Anton at antongunn.com
