War in Ukraine and Gaza. Disunity on climate change. Human trafficking. Water shortages.
The list of international crises is growing. So where is the leadership to solve these global crises?
It seems sadly lacking, but the qualities for this new kind of leader are well studied and defined at the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP). In this episode, GCSP's Ambassador Thomas Greminger and Peter Cunningham reveal their organisation's mission, the state of global leadership today, and the type of leadership it will take to steer us through these crises. They’re skills that can get you through your organization’s next crisis, too!
