The New Ecology of Leadership: Business Mastery in a Chaotic World Learning From the Links: Mastering Management Using Lessons from Golf Crisis & Renewal: Meeting the Challenge of Organizational Change Building the Strategically-Responsive Organization

In this edition I am speaking to Keith Grint, Professor Emeritus at Warwick University.
We’re discussing Wicked Problems in general, the specific Wicked Problems of Covid-19, Brexit, and Leadership.
When Wicked Problems were first introduced by Rittel & Webber in 1973, various people have built upon the idea that it was Professor Grint, drawing on the work of Thompson’s Messy Solutions, who introduced the concepts of Tame and Critical problems, thus contextualising the problem-scape.
Keith Grint is Professor Emeritus at Warwick University where he was Professor of Public Leadership until 2018. He spent 10 years working in various positions across a number of industry sectors before switching to an academic career.
Since becoming an academic he has held Chairs at Cranfield University and Lancaster University and was Director of the Lancaster Leadership Centre. He spent
twelve years at Oxford University and was Director of Research at the Saïd Business School.
