In today’s episode of Unlock Potential with David Archibald, I’m joined by Matthew Webber, a two-time author and expert in leading through disruption. Matthew’s first book, Fit for Disruption, was published just weeks before the world experienced a major global disruption – the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, we explore how his foresight and the principles outlined in his books have provided invaluable lessons for leaders navigating change. In this episode, Matthew discusses:

• How his book predicted the challenges that leaders would face during the pandemic and how businesses with strong structures adapted more successfully.
• The role of leadership in managing change and empowering teams during uncertain times.
• Disruption on both macro (global) and micro (organizational) levels and how leaders can navigate these shifts.
• The mindset leaders need to embrace to tackle rapid change and the importance of preparing teams to adapt.
• Matthew also shares insights from his work with Stanford University, where he coaches executives globally, helping them apply leadership lessons to real-world challenges.
