  Exploring Leaders by Digoshen

  Lidija Drobež, business leader & coach, explores how taking action can create learning and reveal possibilities we cannot see in advance.

  Sep 20, 202627 min

  Lidija Drobež, experienced business leader and executive coach, explores how we can move forward when the future is still unfolding. Drawing on leadership practice, experimentation, and reflection, she examines how action itself can become a way of learning—helping us test assumptions, create feedback, and discover possibilities that cannot always be seen in advance. The key takeaway: sometimes we act because we know—but sometimes we need to act in order to know. This conversation is the eighth episode of the nine-part series Beyond the Old Playbook , featured in the Exploring Leaders Podcast by Digoshen. Welcome to also read the related blog post Moving Without Knowing — The Benefit of Action , exploring how small steps, experimentation, and learning through action can help us navigate uncertainty when the whole path is not yet visible.

  Scott Newton, strategy & transformation advisor, on recognising when the old playbook no longer works—and finding new direction.

  Sep 10, 202649 min

  Scott Newton, Managing Partner at Thinking Dimensions, strategy and transformation advisor, and trainer in the Boards Impact Forum’s Boards AI Leadership Program, explores how leaders and organisations can recognise when the approaches that created past success are no longer enough for the world ahead. Drawing on his extensive experience in strategy, innovation and transformation, he examines how to distinguish temporary turbulence from structural change, why past success can make it harder to question established assumptions, what leaders and organisations may need to retain, adapt or leave behind, and how experimentation and learning can help create direction when the destination is not yet clear. The key takeaway: renewal begins with recognising when the assumptions behind yesterday’s success no longer fit—then having the courage to let go selectively, learn through action, and provide enough direction for people to move forward without pretending to know exactly where the journey will end. This conversation is part of the nine-part series Beyond the Old Playbook , featured in the Exploring Leaders Podcast by Digoshen.

  Jaap Winter, board chair & corporate governance professor, on how boards can turn sustainability into business renewal

  Sep 3, 202637 min

  Jaap Winter, Chair of the Supervisory Board of Royal Schiphol Group, Partner at Phyleon Leadership & Governance, and Visiting Professor of Corporate Governance at INSEAD, explores how boards can move sustainability from an obligation to a source of business renewal and competitive advantage. Drawing on his experience in corporate governance, leadership and business transformation, he examines the value—and limits—of compliance, why sustainability needs to move from backward-looking reporting to a forward-looking business conversation, how boards can discover new opportunities, and why sustainability needs to become part of core strategy and decision-making rather than remain a parallel ESG agenda. The key takeaway: sustainability becomes strategically powerful when boards move beyond asking whether the business is meeting its obligations and start asking how sustainability could shape what the business becomes next—creating new value, resilience and competitive advantage. This conversation is part of the nine-part series Beyond the Old Playbook , featured in the Exploring Leaders Podcast by Digoshen.

  Lidija Drobež, business leader & coach, shares how changing perspective can reveal possibilities we may otherwise overlook.

  Aug 29, 202627 min

  Lidija Drobež, experienced business leader and executive coach, explores how experience can be both a strength and a limitation when navigating change. Drawing on leadership practice, art, and reflection, she examines how assumptions shape what we see—and how slowing down, questioning familiar perspectives, and looking through different lenses can open up new possibilities. The key takeaway: navigating uncertainty may depend not only on what we know, but on our ability to see differently. This conversation is the fifth episode of the nine-part series Beyond the Old Playbook , featured in the Exploring Leaders Podcast by Digoshen. Welcome to also read the related blog post What If the Limitation Is How We See? , exploring how changing perspective can help us navigate uncertainty—and reconsider what we want to make room for next.

  Rolf Pfeiffer, business leader, board chair and executive coach, shares how leaders can exercise judgement when there is no perfect choice.

  Aug 27, 202633 min

  Rolf Pfeiffer, experienced business leader, board chair, executive coach and PhD candidate, explores how leaders can exercise judgement when every available choice has a downside. Drawing on leadership experience, research, and art, he examines why we search for certainty, how to navigate genuine trade-offs, when to stop analysing and start acting, and why awareness and reflection can matter as much as experience. The key takeaway: effective leadership under uncertainty may depend less on finding the perfect choice and more on knowing what can be analysed, what requires judgement, and when we know enough to act. This conversation is the fourth episode of the nine-part series Beyond the Old Playbook , featured in the Exploring Leaders Podcast by Digoshen.
