Option One - Openness to Experience: Leadership Edge in an Uncertain World
In a world where certainty is obsolete, openness isn't soft — it's survival. This session reframes curiosity and adaptability as hard-edged competitive advantages. We'll explore how the best GCs use cognitive openness to see what others miss, emotional openness to read rooms and build trust at speed, and interpersonal openness to unlock innovation in the least likely places. It's about how being genuinely open — to being wrong, to being changed, to being surprised — becomes the thing that makes you impactful.
Moderator: Alex Lazarus, GLL Ambassador and Leadership, Team Coach and Business Psychologist at Lazarus and Maverick
