DO WE NEED BIG LEADERSHIP TODAY MORE THAN EVER?

4 min readJul 4, 2025

I’m heading to Kuala Lumpur next week to deliver a Leadership Masterclass to 120 Executive & Senior Leaders from some of the region’s biggest organisations.

In preparation, I’ve been thinking a lot about leadership in today’s context … not really a surprise given this is my life’s work.

But another level of thinking.

What is leadership all about in our current context?

What does the world need from its leaders?

How can I challenge this current crisis of leadership?

How can I help bring more, good and great, leadership to life?

“Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.”

- Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Former Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States

This is what I believe. Leaders have a fundamental responsibility:

- to lead, not just hold a place in the organisation chart,

- to be visible in their leadership,

- to be human, and

- to develop more leaders.

I believe true leaders rise in response to the needs of their communities, organisations, and people.

I know we need true leaders now more than ever.

We need leaders who bring light, hope and humanity through their leadership.

Let’s all be leading possibility.

I’d love to know your thoughts.
