The Future of Disruption Leadership: A reflection on the changing landscape of leadership with outgoing Google EMEA President Matt Brittin
In this episode of The Unworking Podcast, we’re thrilled to welcome Matt Brittin, Outgoing President of Google EMEA, for a wide-ranging and forward-thinking conversation on the evolving nature of leadership and the future of work.
With nearly two decades at the helm of one of the most influential companies of the digital era, Matt shares reflections from 18 transformative years at Google—years that have redefined not only how we work, but how we lead.
In conversation with Philip Ross, Founder and CEO of UnGroup, Matt explores the shifting landscape of leadership amid global geopolitical shifts, social change, and rapid technological advancement. The discussion spans the move towards flatter, more horizontal organisational structures, the growing strategic value of expert hires within specialist silos, and the challenges and opportunities of leading in uncertain times.
Importantly, the episode also examines the disruptive potential of AI—how it will impact leadership, reshape organisational models, and demand new mindsets from those driving the future. Rather than resisting the change, Matt advocates for embracing AI as a catalyst for innovation, agility, and reimagined ways of working.
You might catch a few metaphors—rowing, diving, and the occasional plunge into the unexpected, so on that note, let’s dive in!
