Radar by nexxworks - Never Normal Heroes September
This episode is part of our Never Normal Heroes series, celebrating those people who thrive in Never Normal uncertainty: leaders, thinkers and creators who know how to act when clarity never comes.
In the very first episode of our "Never Normal Heroes" series on the "Radar - by nexxworks" podcast, I sit down with Frederik Anseel, Dean of Sydney Business School and professor of leadership, to talk about leading in the Never Normal. Together, we dive into the impact of AI, geopolitical turbulence and rapid digital disruption on the way organizations prepare for change.
Frederik explains why traditional forecasting and annual budgets no longer work, and why leaders must build collective capability, strengthen social skills, and develop the courage to act without perfect information. He calls it “running in the fog”, building the muscle to anticipate, adapt and stay resilient while the world shifts around you.
Together, we look at everything from the future of higher education to the rise of adaptive leadership, offering a clear, grounded take on how leaders can stay resilient and move forward in an age of constant uncertainty.
