Lead Like It's 2025: What Today's Leaders Must Add to their Toolkit

Lead Like It's 2025: What Today's Leaders Must Add to their Toolkit

The rules of leadership have changed, but most leaders didn't get the memo. We're leading in a time of constant disruption, fractured teams, and AI eating away at every corner of the workplace. It's no longer enough to rely on outdated mindsets, old leadership playbooks, and hoping for the best. In this episode, we explore what real future-ready leadership looks like. Navy SEAL and leadership coach Rich Diviney shares why it's not your skills, but your attributes, like resilience and adaptability, that determine how you lead under pressure and make you an elite leader. Keith Ferazzi, Founder, Chair, & CEO at Ferrazzi Greenlight, rewrites the traditional leadership script by laying out his "teamship" model for building teams that hold each other accountable. And finally, Dan Priest, US Chief AI Officer of PwC, shows how to stop fearing AI and start using it as a strategic edge. This is the mindset, model, and method leaders need to thrive and lead effectively in this next era. Don't miss it!
