Next Episode: Prof Jamie Gruman explains how to use your leisure time to maximize its impact to keep you energized and engaged

In this episode Antoine Mindjimba, Associate Partner, Culture, Diversity and Inclusion and Transformative Leadership, EY shares his perspective on leadership in the light of the two most pressing challenges facing organizations today - Covid 19 and the reckoning with race in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd.

Building on the a previous conversation with Peter Trevor Wilson, Author of The Human Equity Advantage, we take the opportunity to focus on the issue of leadership. Antoine begins by walking us through a model that involves Purpose, Authenticity, Trust, Pragmatic Hope, Empathy and Lightening the Burden.

We apply these concepts to DEI, discuss the impact of the BlackNorth initiative and conclude with some personal thoughts about how leaders can remain resilient in the face of uncertainty and change.
