What I think has been encouraging this week is to see a number of conversations talking again about purpose with real intent, and real commitment, and perhaps even at a higher level of consciousness and understanding, which I think is essential actually to the future of businesses and to brands. In one of the earlier episodes of Fearless, when I talked to Jim Stengel, I brought up the fact that at Canne last year I had seen and heard a number of people talking about whether purpose was in fact now passe, as though purpose can be a thing that is passe, that it could ever be a trend. There's a lot of things that are coming out of this week. It really is one of the most provocative experiences I think that it's possible to have actually on this planet, a real collection of people from a very wide array and diverse set of backgrounds, and skills, and perspectives. I'm in Canne this week, at the Annual Festival of Creativity, which is a week long relentless, hopeful exercise in the exploration of creativity, and possibility, and humanity, and technology. Stay tuned, because in the next half hour anything could happen. Each week we talk to leaders of the world's most disruptive companies, how they're jumping into the fire, crossing the chasm, and blowing up the status quo, leaders who have mastered the art of turning the impossible into the profitable. You're listening to Fearless, where we explore the art and science of leading creativity, an unpredictable, amorphous, and invaluable resource critical to every modern business. "FEARLESS CREATIVE LEADERSHIP" PODCAST - TRANSCRIPT Episode 10: Kerry Sulkowicz Kerry joins me to talk about the very human challenges that leaders face, the mistakes that most leaders make when stepping into new roles and the deeper human impulses that exist in all of us. He is also a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. Kerry Sulkowicz is a leadership confidant, advising the CEOs and boards of some of the world’s largest and most powerful corporations. Leading a successful business requires we confront our own frailties at the very same time that we are grappling with the multi-faceted threats to modern businesses. We are hesitant, we are anxious, and very often - far more often than we realize or are prepared to admit - we are afraid. We act against our own self interest, willingly and unwillingly. Instead, we stop ourselves, unconsciously and consciously. Most businesses aren't designed that way. Unlocking creativity requires celebrating uncertainty and embracing risk. "The Psychoanalyst" "The culture of an organization emanates directly from the personality and values of the person at the top."
