This first episode of Let’s Talk Leadership features just me, show host Des Walsh, talking about the new show, its focus, type of topics, frequency, duration of episodes and how to access the shows. It’s a short episode, just under 12 minutes.
Key points
- Show starts from the assumption that the digital age has placed extra demands on leaders, especially because of the unrelentingly rapid pace of change
- Areas of challenge for leadership in the digital age include: “big data”; new power of the customer; mobile; intergenerational workforce; overwhelm; anxiety about digital disruption; having to do more with less (this last not new but exacerbated by the pace of change in the business and social environments)
- Focus of the show is on leadership in the mid-market and professional services companies
- Emphasis on interviews with business leaders and others with special knowledge such as executive leadership coaches
- Also case studies
- Interested in interviewing leaders from the government and non-for-profit sectors, as well as business
- Published weekly
- Each episode should be not longer than 30 minutes (there may be the occasional exception, but it would not be expected that any episode would go longer than, say, 40 minutes)
