Leading for What’s Next: Performance, Courage and the Human Edge
AI is transforming how work gets done. Organisations are operating through constant change. Expectations of leaders are rising, while many of the traditional leadership playbooks are becoming less useful.
For this Superhumans conversation, Samantha Gadd will be joined by Claudia Batten - global technology entrepreneur and experienced company director.
Claudia has built and scaled disruptive technology ventures in the United States, achieved successful exits to Microsoft and Havas Worldwide, led North American operations for NZTE, and now governs some of New Zealand’s most recognised businesses, including Air New Zealand, Michael Hill, Serko and Vista Group. Her career has been anything but linear, which makes her perspective on leadership, courage and performance especially valuable right now.
For six years, we've had a true partnership with Humankind. They understand our business ambitions, are extremely capable and adaptable. They're just part of the team.
