Christos Tsolkas: The Gift of Crisis & Leading With Certainty

Welcome To Another Episode of The Decoding Purpose Podcast.Today's guest is an author whose book I came across while scrolling through a LinkedIn page titled the Business Of Purpose. The title of that book - The Gift Of Crises. The book cover features a glittering jewel that caught my eye, and when I zoned in on the content, I just knew I needed to track down the author. Today's guest is the incredible Christos Tsolkas.The book was only released in February of this year, and I stumbled upon it only a few weeks later. As the saying goes - timing is everything. See when the bushfires hit I thought that was the turning point of 2020. How wrong was I! And then there was COVID, and that wasn't a turning point - that was a tornado. Today, ( a Thursday afternoon in early June) we are now faced with a human tsunami where the injustice of centuries of racism has surfaced with one angry roar that the world cannot ignore. That cry - Black Lives Matter. If Crises is a gift this year will be like all our Christmases coming at once.Today's guest is Christos Tsolkas. Professionally Christos was the Managing Director of large organizations in Southern Europe and Eastern Europe for more than a decade. In that time, he experienced significant crises and gained insights into what it takes to lead with certainty when the world is anything but certain. Today he is an independent advisor working with established companies and start-ups, to improve innovation and growth injecting a broader purpose into their business model. Innovation that off the back of the current climate has never been more important.For any leaders looking to navigate these interesting times or looking for some advice from someone who has truly walked their talk - this is your book.The Gift of Crisis is a roadmap of proven-in-practice steps for all organizations to properly use any crisis to reset and redefine their purpose and business model, align their stakeholders and society, and use innovation and technology to grow exponentially and help the planet become a better home.Welcome To The Decoding Purpose Podcast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
