In a world defined by volatility, disruption and rapid transformation, leaders face a critical question: Do you merely react to disruption, or do you use it to take control of your future?
In this episode, Niels Brabandt speaks with Dr. Patrick Leddin — professor at Vanderbilt University, bestselling author, former U.S. Army officer, entrepreneur and one of the world's leading voices on leadership in times of uncertainty. Together, they unpack the core message of Dr. Leddin's new book: Disrupt Everything and Win.
This conversation delivers deep insights for executives, board members and organisational decision makers:
Why disruption is not a threat but a strategic opportunity
How to turn fear of change into constructive action
The 27 positive disruptor moves that empower leaders and teams
How to manage AI-driven uncertainty without losing credibility
Why the best leaders openly acknowledge what they don't know
The critical difference between performing today and transforming for tomorrow
How to build resilience while still delivering on KPIs
What leaders can learn from Dr. Leddin's three-year research study of 350 disruptors
Why small experiments outperform big promises
How teams become stronger when they decentralise decision making during crisis
How mid-level leaders take control even when they cannot control circumstances
This episode provides a practical, evidence-based roadmap for leaders who want to thrive — not survive — in an era where disruption has become constant.
Hosted by Niels Brabandt, founder of NB Networks, global leadership consultant and expert on sustainable leadership practices.
