Traditional leadership tools are failing to meet the challenges and opportunities of the ecosystem we live and lead in now, according to my guest today. Leaders need a flexible and interconnected system of ideas and frameworks to successfully lead for high performance – and the good news is, her new book shows you how. In The Leaders Ecosystem: A Guide to Leading, Exceptionally (Grammar Factory $34.95), Dr Paige Williams provides a unique, practical framework for leaders to successfully lead themselves, others, and systems to feel well and perform well through uncertainty. Paige is also a keynote speaker, organisational psychologist, and Honorary Fellow at the University of Melbourne. A world leader in positive psychology, and the author of five books on leading well in modern times, Paige is obsessed with one question above all others: 'What does good look like?'. If you are leading now or are likely to become a future leader in your area of speciality or run a business, this is the podcast for you.

7. Trust, psychological safety, and tapping into our creativity all seem to work well together to lead to overall success – how does an organization foster these to bring out the best in its people?
