Ep. 39: Andrew Liveris on Managing Through Disruption
Manage episode 400536837 series 3367966
Former Dow chairman and CEO Andrew Liveris shares insights on leading companies in an era of disruption and geopolitical uncertainty. He discusses instilling a solutions mindset in the next generation to drive change in business, society, and government, and how activists and short-term "renters" of stock can impact long-term strategic thinking. Topics include:
- How a multicultural upbringing in Darwin, Australia shaped Andrew's open, inclusive leadership style and view of diversity as an asset
- The challenges leaders face today with constant disruption, tribalism, and short-term mindsets
- Why the "American Global Corporation" model is breaking down and the need for businesses to step up in the leadership breach
- What it takes to build an "enlightened board" that incorporates diverse viewpoints and contextual decision-making
Liveris's new book, Leading Through Disruption, is now available in US bookstores.
