#21 Jon Alexander and Sam Conniff
Jan 17, 2024
In this podcast, we managed to get the authors of some amazing books in the same place, at the same time, after much wrangling! Jon Alexander and Sam Conniff join James Eves and Michelle Minnikin.
We talk about:
- Realising the limitations of power and influence in creating positive change.
- Consumerism, disillusionment, and finding a new story.
- Embracing uncertainty and collaboration in leadership.
- Ideas, teapots, and democratising workplace innovation.
Jon Alexander is the author of CITIZENS: Why the Key to Fixing Everything is All of Us - a book that seeks to reframe the moment in time we're living in as one of huge civic opportunity, not just crisis and collapse, and in doing so opens up a world of possibility for organisations and leaders across sectors and across the world.
He also co-founded the New Citizenship Project, a strategy and innovation consultancy that aims to shift the dominant story of the individual in society from Consumer to Citizen.
