Manage episode 400536837 series 3367966
Former Dow chairman and CEO Andrew Liveris shares insights on leading companies in an era of disruption and geopolitical uncertainty. He discusses instilling a solutions mindset in the next generation to drive change in business, society, and government, and how activists and short-term "renters" of stock can impact long-term strategic thinking. Topics include:
- How a multicultural upbringing in Darwin, Australia shaped Andrew's open, inclusive leadership style and view of diversity as an asset
- The challenges leaders face today with constant disruption, tribalism, and short-term mindsets
- Why the "American Global Corporation" model is breaking down and the need for businesses to step up in the leadership breach
- What it takes to build an "enlightened board" that incorporates diverse viewpoints and contextual decision-making
Liveris's new book, Leading Through Disruption, is now available in US bookstores.
