The power of hope: A leadership skill for uncertain times (Ep. 38)
Manage episode 502943898 series 3573006
Hope isn’t fluffy. It’s not vague or naïve. It’s a powerful leadership skill – one that helps you navigate uncertainty, complexity and change with clarity and purpose. And like any other leadership skill hope can be learnt.
In this episode of the Quiet Leadership Revolution podcast, Juliet and Lucy unpack why hope matters for leaders – and how it’s very different from blind optimism or wishful thinking.
Their conversation draws on research into hope – a fascinating field that shows hope is about more than positive feelings. It’s rooted in clarity, belief and action.
They explore:
- Why hope is a leadership skill – not just a mindset
- How hope strengthens decision-making in uncertain, complex environments
- The crucial difference between hope and mindless optimism
- How hope links directly to strategic thinking and growth mindset
- Practical ways to cultivate hope – for yourself and those you lead
If you’ve ever wondered how to stay grounded in reality while holding onto possibility, this conversation offers clarity, practical tools and thoughtful insights.
