Maverick leadership is all about thinking outside the box and challenging the status quo. It's about having the courage to take risks and the confidence to lead in a way that is authentic and genuine.
But amplifying your influence as a leader isn't just about having a strong vision or a big personality. It's also about having the right leadership capability and being able to execute on your ideas and plans.
The consequences of not having the right level of influence as a leader can be significant. Without the ability to inspire and motivate others, you may struggle to achieve your goals and make a real impact.

Continuing with World Creativity and Innovation Week The Maverick Paradox continues to mark the occasion with a discussion on innovation and ethical leadership from The Maverick Paradox's 6 Featured Columnists. The columnists are based in a number of countries and work asynchronous to each other.

Therefore to hear the views of all the columnists we have created two short panels. In this Innovation and Ethical Leadership Panel, Judith Germain, Ben Baker and Jo Farmer discuss the interplay between the two concepts.
Key Takeaways The group had an open discussion on ethics and leadership to highlight their different perspectives. According to Ben, there are no absolutes in ethics. Definitions depend on the individual/group. Leadership involves finding common ground. Jo emphasised autistic people have a strong sense of justice. Situations require understanding from both sides. Judith said alignment comes from organisational values. Leaders should examine if they fit. In this conversation differing definitions of ethics and leadership surfaced. Common ground lies in organisational values if reinforced regularly. Innovation arises from resolving lack of clarity through improved communication of those values.

Continuing with World Creativity and Innovation Week The Maverick Paradox continues to mark the occasion with a discussion on innovation and ethical leadership from The Maverick Paradox's 6 Featured Columnists. The columnists are based in a number of countries and work asynchronous to each other.
Therefore to hear the views of all the columnists we have created two short panels.
In this Innovation and Ethical Leadership Panel, Judith Germain, David Chislett, Josuel Rogers and Astrid Davies discuss the interplay between the two concepts.
Key Takeaways The panel discussed how ethics guides but doesn't limit innovation, and the need to re-evaluate what's ethical over time. They also discussed decisiveness, and how ethical parameters support purposeful decisions. Each panellist reflected on how their writing for The Maverick Paradox Magazine promotes innovation. The panelists explained how their writing bears witness, identifies lateral thinking, and gives reflection to spark readers' tools for handling unpredictable change.

Therefore to hear the views of all the columnists we have created two short panels. This is the second panel and features Judith Germain who hosts, and is joined by Ben Baker and Jo Farmer.
Key Takeaways Both Ben and Jo provided thoughtful perspectives on innovation from the lens of their expertise in communication and autism. Communication, authenticity, and understanding diverse perspectives are key for organisations to align teams and put values into action. In this conversation Ben explained that companies should understand their identity and purpose before innovating communication. Storytelling is key to inspire change by helping people understand why it benefits them and the company. However, stories must be simple, repeatable and valued by employees to be effective.
Jo explained autistic brains see possibilities others miss due to thinking differently. Problem prevention is prioritised over problem-solving. Innovation lies in autistic voices being heard plainly rather than masked. Understanding different perspectives unlocks potential.

Astrid discussed innovating within ethics/sustainability parameters to benefit society, and using SDG goals as an ethical framework.

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Jodi Hume about leadership myths and decision fatigue.
Key Takeaways Hustle culture and the idea that it's "lonely at the top" are damaging myths about leadership Emotional/energetic regulation is crucial for optimal executive functioning and decision making Having a support network you can process decisions with is key to avoiding decision fatigue Saying "yes" and figuring things out along the way can build confidence In this conversation they discuss how neurodivergence often aids entrepreneurship, with different thinking driving innovation. Understanding individual needs optimises one's decision-making.
They agree doubt ensures prudence but imposter syndrome labels normal fears. Success emerges from navigating uncertainty, not perfectionism.
After a 15 year career as COO of a rapidly growing architecture firm, Jodi Hume now provides on-call decision support and facilitated leadership conversations for startup founders and entrepreneurs across the globe. She is also lead singer of The Wafflers.
