In this episode of Leading Through Uncertainty, Chris Hamilton sits down with investor, board adviser and former global CEO Subhanu Saxena to explore what effective leadership looks like in an era defined by disruption, complexity and constant change.
Drawing on a career that spans engineering, consulting, banking, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals and healthcare investing, Subhanu Saxena shares practical lessons on navigating uncertainty, leading business turnarounds, building resilient organisations and developing future leaders.
During the conversation, they discuss:
- Why leaders should stop trying to predict the future and focus on adaptability
- Lessons from leading a major business turnaround at PepsiCo
- What investors look for in leadership teams today
- How to identify organisational inflection points before problems escalate
- The role of boards in developing leadership talent
- Why diversity of thought matters when navigating uncertainty
- The leadership capabilities organisations need for the next decade
- Building cultures where people can thrive as themselves
- The importance of purpose, authenticity and self-awareness in leadership
A standout insight from the conversation:
"If things go well and everyone thinks the same, that's fine. But when you hit a problem, you want someone to come up with a contrarian view."
Whether you're a CEO, board member, investor or aspiring leader, this discussion offers valuable perspectives on leading people, navigating change and creating organisations that can succeed in uncertain environments.
