Über diesen Titel

We are living in a pivotal global moment. The world is radically changing, are you? According to international scientists, 2030 is a point of no return, an unprecedented looming economic and existential threat to humanity - an inconvenient truth becomes an undeniable reality. In a world on fire, plagued by the worst global pandemic in over a century, we face unparalleled inequalities and menacing deep divides. Our Future hangs in the balance. If you are worried, you are not alone.

The latest research indicates that our current leadership models are not working. We need a sustainable planet, but there is Hope. Like Nelson Mandela did for South Africa and the world, we need a radical new approach to how we think, behave, and lead. We can do it again, but we must act NOW.

Welcome to Leading Boldly Into The Future, a videocast to meet this moment and inspire upcoming generations. It is for millennials to senior-level executives who want to build a hopeful tomorrow. Tune in to surround yourself with accomplished trailblazers who tap into the positive power of purpose, multiple intelligences, and moral courage.

Hear diverse conversations from multiple generations across continents: courageous, everyday heroes worldwide: a Supreme Court Judge, a UK Parliament Lord, and global top business executives. Be inspired by best-selling authors, vice-chancellors, and investment deal makers. Listen to a former Palestinian prisoner turned peacemaker, young disruptors, whistle-blowers, gender champions and media watchdogs, and gain wisdom from Harvard and Aspen Fellows. These leadership stories span successes, failures, and transformation. They illustrate how to create inclusive shared value and deliver sustainable impact.

The show host is multi-awarded businesswoman Anne Pratt, originally from South Africa, a Harvard Advanced Leadership Initiative fellow, selected as one of 45 top leaders worldwide. An author, a world-class business executive and entrepreneur, she co-founded and ran a premier executive search firm working closely with multi-listed boards in the private, public, and civic sectors across the African continent and internationally. Growing up in an anti-apartheid family harassed by state police, celebrating racial harmony in a rural mission hospital, and meeting her icon, Nelson Mandela, inspired her leadership purpose. Over decades she worked closely with the Nelson Mandela Foundation Board and placed its CEO. At the forefront of executive leadership and transformation, she guided multiple Boards and advised South African Government Cabinet members during and after President Mandela's term. She has interviewed over 10,000 leaders on the African continent and beyond. Together with Harvard and Aspen colleagues, she co-founded the Global Mandela Leadership Movement for Change for bold leaders worldwide to join the ranks, reminding an older generation and inspiring the next.

In this show, Anne and her influential guests share meaningful life and leadership lessons called "Mandela Moments" for today's world. Listen, reflect, and learn from the collective wisdom, often inspired and fortified by the remarkable life and legacy of Nelson Mandela. Learn how to negotiate across differences, calm the rage, and bend the arc of change in favor of economic shared value, justice, truth, and dignity – from our corporate boardrooms, or corridors of Congress, to Hospital ERs, School Boards, and Police Departments. Develop your bold new way to think, act, and lead. Because if not you, then who? And if not now, then when?

2030 is imminent. Don't play it safe and maintain the status quo. It's time to cross the current leadership line, develop a Mandela mindset, embolden your moral courage, and heal the deep dark divides. Tune in today for pivotal conversations with pioneering change-makers and radical disruptors who overcame adversity to wake up, stand up and speak out. This is your blueprint to Lead Boldly into the Future. The real hero lies in you.
