Leading and Managing in Dysfunctional Organisations | Alan Richardson | Testflix2025
Leadership today is facing a serious gap. Many people step into leadership and management roles without a clear understanding of how to lead, manage, or genuinely support their teams. While the fundamentals of leadership are simple, poor leadership makes it necessary to revisit the basics. Drawing from experience as a consultant, manager, individual contributor, and leader, this session focuses on what truly works and what consistently fails.
In a concise 10 to 15 minutes, the talk goes back to core principles of leadership and management, inspired by timeless ideas like “The Moral Law” from *The Art of War*. It also covers how leaders can build trust and respect through knowledge sharing, along with the essential attitudes and responsibilities that define effective leaders and managers.
