Jamie brings decades of experience placing senior leaders into C-suite and board-level roles. In our conversation, he reflects on how leadership expectations have evolved from the traditional command-and-control model to the need for leaders who are purpose-led, agile, and capable of navigating complexity, paradox, and moral dilemmas.
We explore:
- What organisations are really looking for in executive leaders today
- The tension between competency-based assessment and deeper human capacities
- How Livingston James has embedded purpose through ownership, structure, and values
- The role of moral courage in leadership
- The importance of early moral and intellectual development, with a nod to the German idea of Bildung and Jamie’s work with young people through Columba 1400
This is a wide-ranging and thoughtful conversation about leadership as principled action—especially in times of disruption.
