S2: Bonus2: Leadership & Imagination

Season 2 · Episode 6

Friday, February 20, 2026 • Duration 22:34

A conversation with Kathryn Winterburn on the role of curiosity in leadership.....

What happens when leaders don't have the answer?
How can leaders learn to trust that the wisdom they need may actually sit in the wider business (and not need to come from their own brains?)
And how do they learn to let go and trust ?

Creativity and imagination is needed more than ever in organisations if they're going to survive and thrive into the future with all the global chaos.
Could creativity be the answer to navigating all that uncertainty.
We think it might be.
