    Pragmatic leadership in volatile times - workplace politics expert Niven Postma

    Leaders in volatile and unpredictable markets are often asked to steady the course and stabilize the ship. But what if chaos is the new business normal? Organizational change expert Niven Postma says any leader navigating uncertainty today needs to harness a new type of workplace intelligence. She points to the Stockdale Paradox, where the brutality of the moment is recognized as the reality. Pragmatism, therefore, is the most required skill of the future leader. Without that, Niven argues, the most idealistic leaders quickly become cynics, and cynics become complicit to the complacency of corporate life. --- Learn more: Looking Outside podcast www.looking-outside.comConnect with host, Jo Lepore on LinkedIn & Substack & jolepore.comLearn more about Niven at nivenpostma.comConnect with Niven on LinkedIn Grab a copy of Niven's book If you don't do politics, politics will do youCheck out Niven's LinkedIn courses on organizational leadership --- ⭐ Follow & rate the show - it makes a difference! --- Looking Outside is a podcast exploring fresh perspectives of familiar topics.

    Who are 'influencers' influencing? (Marketers.) - Marketing Professor Ramanathan Vythilingam

    Influencer marketing is not a paradigm shift. At best it’s an over-inflated investment (in the billions), at worst it’s serving up false credibility to audiences, masked as ‘trust’. And yet, it’s all that seemed to be on the agenda at Cannes this year, and is being heavily weighted in the marketing media mix by marketers that should know better. Is marketing through influencers, or content creators, a waste of money then? Ramanathan Vythilingam says no - if it’s intentionally used. Ram has been researching the effectiveness of influencer campaigns, following two decades behind the scenes at Unilever. He says the name of the game now is to get savvy and more protective of brand assets and marketing dollars, especially in this marketing era of abundance and clutter. --- Learn more: Looking Outside podcast www.looking-outside.comConnect with host, Jo Lepore on LinkedIn & Substack & jolepore.comConnect with Ram on LinkedIn Read Ram's WARC article on influencer marketing --- ⭐ Follow & rate the show - it makes a difference! --- Looking Outside is a podcast exploring fresh perspectives of familiar topics.

    Disengaged youth | Business Brief

    Who will run your business in the future? We like to study, interview and market to young people, but are we really ready to handle the feedback they're serving? In this Business Brief, we look at the 'performative' nature of youth engagement and why this is causing a further disconnect for the next generation of leaders.

    We hear from young people but are we listening? - UNICEF's Shai Naides

    In a boardroom setting, young people are often spoken of and sometimes represented. But their ideas, opinions and provocations are mostly inconsequential, left untranslated to influence. After all, young people are full of naivety and inexperience that doesn’t fit with our practical ‘real world’ ... right? But Shai Naides says that their presence should be less like a token of good will, and more like a gesture of intent. Through his work in policy for intergenerational governance and participation, within UNICEF's office of strategy and evidence, Shai has uncovered what it takes to bring young people into multilateral forums where their (perhaps altruistic) challenges and perspectives to established thinking are turned into a mechanism for their agency. And perhaps gives them back a little bit of hope for the future. --- Learn more: Looking Outside podcast www.looking-outside.comConnect with host, Jo Lepore on LinkedIn & Substack & jolepore.comConnect with Shai on LinkedIn Follow his writing on SubstackCheck out the UNICEF reports mentioned on the show at unicef.org/innocenti --- ⭐ Follow & rate the show - it makes a difference! --- Looking Outside is a podcast exploring fresh perspectives of familiar topics.

    THIS is competition | Business Brief

    Your future competition may be coming not only from outside your category, but another part of the world. In this Business Brief, Jo examines the rapid rise of new international challengers redefining what “competitive” means. And why lessons on balancing speed, agility and experimentation with long term stability and a future vision can be best learnt right now from Asian brands. Business Brief is a (very brief, just 5 mins) new solo series hosted by Looking Outside podcast host, foresight strategist Jo Lepore. --- Learn more: Looking Outside podcast www.looking-outside.comConnect with host, Jo Lepore on LinkedIn & Substack & jolepore.comWatch this Business Brief on YouTube --- ⭐ Follow & rate the show - it makes a difference! --- Looking Outside is a podcast exploring fresh perspectives of familiar topics.

    When global brand playbooks fail - brand builder Eugene Lee

    Scaling a big American brand globally is not a guaranteed recipe for success any more. Market localization is key to building relevance and trust, especially in Asia. Here, locally founded brands move faster, without the shackles of ‘big brand’ bureaucracy. For leaders in the headquarters of multinational corporations, this type of freedom and pace may feel unusual, but as our guest today explains, it’s the norm in Asia. Joining us is Singapore-based Eugene Lee, CMO of fast-growing premium tea brand CHAGEE. Eugene’s transition from growing US brand McDonald's throughout Asia, to now growing a Chinese brand globally, has afforded him the chance to spot the rule differences in how brands activate across markets. And while the ideas come fast and pace of implementation even faster, Eugene stresses it’s never at the expense of a long term ambition. And that, he says, is giving big global brands a run for their money. --- Learn more: Looking Outside podcast www.looking-outside.comConnect with host, Jo Lepore on LinkedIn & Substack & jolepore.comConnect with Eugene on LinkedInCheck out CHAGEE https://global.chagee.com/id/en --- ⭐ Follow & rate the show - it makes a difference! --- Looking Outside is a podcast exploring fresh perspectives of familiar topics.
