Welcome to the first episode of the Curiosity Mindset podcast.
Introduction and context
In February 2024, the inaugural Leadership Development Summit was held in Tasmania, Australia.
As a direct outcome, a white paper was produced identifying 5 major challenges:
1) Research-practice gap
2) Divergent worldviews
3) Challenges of leadership measurement
4) Complexity and systems thinking
5) Future of leadership development
In this limited series, I will be interviewing 5 people who contributed to the paper to reflect on what's changed since the 2024 summit, what new challenges are being experienced by leaders, and what they believe we need to be talking about at the next summit in December 2025, in Canberra.
About our guest
In this third episode, I speak with Angela Driver.
Angela has been with Tasmanian Leaders since 2011 and became CEO in 2021, bringing a deep commitment to developing leadership that’s grounded, inclusive and future-focused.
She has completed the Art and Practice of Adaptive Leadership at the Harvard Kennedy School and earned a Brain-Based Coaching certificate through the NeuroLeadership Institute - formalising what she’s always been passionate about: helping people grow, adapt, and lead with clarity and care.
In this episode
In our conversation, we focus on the current challenges faced by leaders, whether the work of leadership development has had an impact, and what skills people might need for the future.
