Naseem Khuri, Adjunct Assistant Professor, Tufts University and Rob Wilkinson, Senior Lecturer at Harvard University, answer One Question, can we rewrite the rules of leadership?

*Please be aware this conversation was recorded before the terrorist attack on Israel on the 7th of October.*

Over the last twenty years, Naseem Khuri has worked as a trainer, consultant, mediator and facilitator specialising in negotiation, influence, and conflict management. He is a Senior Facilitator with Vantage Partners, a Principal with CMPartners, and a Senior Advisor with Dragonfly Partners. He is also an Adjunct Assistant Professor of International Relations at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University.

This week, Naseem and his colleague and co-author, Rob Wilkinson, Senior Lecturer in Public Policy and Leadership at Harvard University, join Sarah in a conversation answering our One Question, can we rewrite the rules of leadership? If we better understand what it means to negotiate? 

As well as a member of the faculty at Harvard University, Rob, like Naseem, helps organisations, non for profits and government institutions, deal with complex negotiation, leadership and management challenges. In this conversation, Rob, Sarah and Naseem explore whether a new form of leadership is dependent on our ability to communicate and negotiate. 

Why do we avoid difficult conversations? How can we accept that conflict exists in the boardroom, in politics and in different cultures, but how do we navigate these conflicts? How can we learn to lead by understanding perspectives that differ from our own and lean into challenging conversations, not from a position of righteousness but from one of curiosity? 

This is a provocative conversation that will give us all a glimmer of hope.
