What are the advantages and disadvantages of a humble leadership style versus a dominant style of leadership? In this edition of the think ahead podcast series, two of our leading faculty make the case for opposing leadership styles in a lively discussion and exchange of ideas.
Dan Cable and Niro Sivanathan, both Professors of Organisational Behaviour at London Business School, draw on their extensive research to explore whether the two different management styles are mutually exclusive. What should leaders be aware of before adopting a particular stance? What are the radical differences in the two different management styles? Do workers prefer a decisive and dominant leader who is firmly in control or the humble leader who gives power and control back to the people who do the work and have the ideas to get things done? What role does emotion play in the success of the differing styles?
Listen now to hear the insightful discussion.

In this episode of the think ahead podcast, we look at how AI can be part of the solution to the global environment crisis. Julian Birkinshaw and Jean Pauphilet discuss the ways in which AI has the potential to be a central component of the solutions to reduce our environmental footprint. The discussion explores how AI tools are being applied to cleaning up plastic from the oceans, weather forecasting, industrial processing, decreasing carbon emissions and using satellite data to find the answers and pathways to meet environmental challenges.
While AI may be a key to the solution, its large-scale adoption is not harmless to our environment and comes at a significant financial cost. What do we need to consider in using AI to find solutions to achieving environmental and sustainability goals?
