Africa’s EU Ambassador Redefines Leadership: How You Have Global Impact

Season 2 Episode 49

Guests: Cynthia Cherrey, President and CEO, International Leadership Association (ILA) & Ajay Bramdeo, African Union Ambassador to the European Union

This classic episode, revisited, focuses on global challenges. Migration – legal and illegal – is just one major issue haunting the globe. As the world faces this, climate change, and other international challenges, what can you do?

Plenty, as we learn in this episode! ILA CEO Cynthia Cherrey opens the conversation by discussing the frameworks and forum for the new leadership needed to develop solutions which the Association’s annual global conference provides. Then Ambassador Ajay Bramdeo steps in to point out how old-school leadership fails in light of illegal migration and other global challenges – and how redefining leadership is necessary to solve them.

Here’s what Cynthia, Ajay, and Maureen cover:

1. The needs Cynthia saw in the leadership community…and how establishing ILA’s global conference can help fill them;
2. The origins of the migration crisis, focusing on Africa’s emigres as an example of how poor leadership exacerbates the issue; and
3. Solutions – including the leadership traits you can practice in your own organization which, in the long term, can influence resolving global issues.
