Leadership Next

Something big is happening in the world of business. CEOs increasingly say their jobs have become less about giving orders, more about inspiring, motivating, setting a north star. They are taking the lead on big issues like climate change, worker retraining, and diversity and inclusion. They are under pressure from employees, customers and investors not just to turn a profit, but to prove they are doing good in the world. And in the process, they are fundamentally redefining the relationship between business and society. Join Fortune Executive Editorial Director Diane Brady and Editorial Director Kristin Stoller as they engage global leaders on the insights, experiences and issues you need to know.

A veritable companion

I find this podcast continually fascinating by your choice of guests and their pivotal view of business, and what business should do WITH society. I think you are onto a major mindshift on the purpose of business.

Great insight

I am liking the podcast’s format and its content so far. I specifically like how Alan Murray invites leading figures in the business world to the episode in order to get their different perpsectives on the topic. I also appreciate how the episodes are not long. However ,there are better episodes than others. As a suggestion, you may include a few questions from listeners on the topic at hand so that they get answered in the podcast. Keep the podcasts coming...
