Audio Collective.

I have a question for you.

Do you know of any leaders who are facing huge challenges these days?

Maybe you know just a few.

Well, we know what great leaders typically

do in these kinds of moments.

They swoop in like a hero with big visions

and bold execution plans showing everyone how to get the job done.

But maybe there is a better way.

Welcome to the TED Business Podcast. I'm your host Madupak-Anola, a professor of management at Columbia Business School and director of the Sanford C. Bernstein and Company Center for Leadership and Ethics.

In today's talk from Ted at BCG Mumbai 2019,

Lorna Davis teaches you how to stop trying to be a hero

and instead practice what she calls radical interdependence, which is also

known as collaborative leadership.

Lorna Davis has been a leader in multinational consumer goods companies including Kraft,

Mondelez, and Denone, North America, where she served as CEO of the

six billion dollar company helping it to become the largest B Corp in the world.

Now if you're a business leader managing your company through a crisis like COVID-19,

or maybe you're just starting your career and trying to prove yourself

by spearheading a brand new project,

or you might just be trying to solve a problem that seems absolutely unsolvable.
