This week on DisrupTV, we interviewed Kirstie Papworth, author of Compassionate Leadership and Ravin Jesuthasan, co-author of The Skills-Powered Organization: The Journey to the Next-Generation Enterprise.
Papworth emphasized the misconception that compassionate #leadership is weak, citing research showing that #compassionate leaders foster higher employee #engagement and #retention. Jesuthasan highlighted the rapid shift in skill premiums due to #AI and the #climate crisis, stressing the need for organizations to re-skill and up-skill their #workforce. He outlined three core capabilities for effective skill development: understanding demand signals, translating gaps into priorities, and deploying #skills productively. Both authors emphasized the importance of intentional, continuous learning and #development.
