Alain Hunkins: Cracking The Code - A New Paradigm In Leadership

Welcome to Another Episode Of The Decoding Purpose Podcast.Over the last century, the rules of ‘old power’ in leadership were crystal clear. To get things done, or to succeed in business the general consensus was to remain closed, authoritative and inaccessible - In short, the ego is the leading principle. It's amazing how quickly the world and our ideals can change. Today - globally we continue to be in the grips of a global crisis, and the shadow of power-hungry leadership strategies are being frightfully exposed - and the best part - it's being called out - and at the same time a new type of heart centred leadership is being celebrated.Why? Because right now people need great leadership. We are experiencing a kind of collective grief all over the world, and as we rebuild we are needing a space for our stories to be told, and hearts to be seen. We need healing and of all of the capital in the world...human capital matters the most. After all, it is in these times we realise the value of human life.So, when we consider the old rules in leadership within the context of a world in the grips of a shift in paradigm unlike any we have ever known in this lifetime, then how do we lead, and what do the new rules look like? How do we shift our ego into empathy, our loudness into deep listening, or transform our force into facilitation? How do we create a foundation of safety in a world that feels so far away from the normal we have always known? The Burning Question - How do we go about cracking the leadership code to find meaning and purpose in the brave new world?Today's guest is Alain Hunkins, author and leadership consultant who connects the science of high performance with the performing art of leadership.
