74: How leaders lead? A conversation with Liz Sweigart, Chief Product & Strategy Officer, Safe Kids AI: My guest on The Elephant in the Room podcast this week is Liz Sweigart, PhD Chief Product & Strategy Officer, Safe Kids AI. Liz serves on several boards, is a frequent author and speaker on mental wellness and mental health. In the episode we explore leaders, leadership, conscious, moral, ethical, moral leadership. We also spoke about her journey to discovering who she is and separating that from what she does. 👉🏾 The imperatives for leaders to lead differently 👉🏾 What it means to be an authentic leader - eliminating the gap between who they are and how they present themselves to the world 👉🏾 Conscious leadership 👉🏾 The concept of the leader as a moral integrator 👉🏾 The inherent contradiction between moral leadership and capitalism as we know it. 👉🏾 The double bind for leaders in today’s world to deliver returns for shareholders and their obligation (as perceived by society) to act ethically and in the wider interests of society 👉🏾 Female leaders and trust We also spoke about the people who inspire her. “And where I think that leads into this whole question of leadership, is how is the view in the world changing, around who it is, again when the music stops, who it is that deserves these returns. And so I think leaders are being pressed to negotiate between this evolving view of shareholder capitalism, this evolving view of stakeholder capitalism.” Liz Sweigart
