In this webinar from the Institute of Business Ethics, renowned thinker and TED speaker Margaret Hefferman will be drawing inspiration from her book 'Embracing Uncertainty: How writers, musicians and artists thrive in an unpredictable world' to discuss the implications of these ideas for thinking about business leadership, values, and culture.

The discussion will explore traditional business thinking that uncertainty is to be feared and offer the perspective that in fact it can be a source of creativity and innovation. Heffernan suggests that boldness, resilience, and the discipline of artists can be an excellent guide to navigating turbulent times.  

Drawing on the wisdom of creatives, key themes for discussion will include:

  • The psychology of uncertainty.
  • How artists live with and harness uncertainty to create, adapt and inspire.
  • How to foster creativity with discipline and resilience, even when outcomes aren’t guaranteed .
  • Why creativity is vital for leadership and culture, especially in times of change.

Panellists:

Margaret Heffernan

Lauren Branston - Chief Executive, IBE
