In this episode of Rural Leadership Unearthed, Australian Rural Leadership Foundation CEO, Matt Linnegar, sits down with former Australian diplomat and founder of Geopolitical Strategy, Michael Feller, for a conversation about leadership in an increasingly chaotic global environment.
Matt and Michael examine how leaders internationally are navigating rapid change and disruption. They discuss the limitations to a ‘transactional’ style of leadership, and the need for calm, empathetic leaders with strong values and clear objectives. They discuss the implications of economic policies impacting free trade and offer some observations about what may lie ahead as we move from a unipolar global order towards a multipolar order.
We note that the insights and analysis provided in today’s episode are not a reflection of the views of the ARLF. This conversation is a stimulating one that leaves plenty to consider, whatever context you are leading in.
Some highlights:
• Why transactional leadership delivers poor long-term outcomes
• When context matters, and why the ‘Silicon Valley’ approach may not translate to the Whitehouse
• Examining constraints to better understand global leadership decisions
• Beware the appeal of a simplistic solution
• The logic and the emotion behind a return to tariffs
• How artificial intelligence is driving the fifth industrial revolution
• Tools leaders need to navigate an increasingly disrupted world order
