The Sticky From The Inside Podcast
Business:Management
Why don’t we question traditional leadership training more often? The world is shifting under our feet, with complex global challenges, AI, and sustainability demanding leaders who think differently. Yet many organisations and institutions still rely on approaches designed for yesterday’s problems.
In this episode, Andy Goram talks to Ed Fidoe, founder and CEO of the London Interdisciplinary School, who’s taking a bold, innovative approach to shaping the leaders of tomorrow. Ed believes that interdisciplinary thinking—combining knowledge across fields—is critical for tackling the messy, interconnected issues that dominate today’s landscape.
This thought-provoking conversation dives into how education and leadership development need to evolve, why adaptability, empathy, and long-term thinking are the “ninja skills” of the future, and how businesses can prepare their people to lead with purpose and impact. If you’re ready to rethink what it means to build a successful leader, this episode is a must-listen.
