On episode 96 of the Impact Makers podcast, I welcome Dr. Tanvi Gautam, a world-renowned leadership development expert.

Dr. Gautam is a multi-award-winning keynote speaker, executive coach, author, and senior faculty and program director at Singapore Management University. She uses a combination of head and heart-based tools for upgrading leaders and to create culture transformation in organizations.

As we navigate a world rocked by global disruption, Dr. Gautam highlights how leadership is evolving and why it’s critical to adopt new tools and resources. She also shares her insights on the essence of true leadership, the essential leadership skills required in the age of disruption, and the intriguing concept of ‘future fluidity’.
