10x Bolder: The New Leadership Playbook
10x Bolder: The New Leadership Playbook is a conversation-based podcast series exploring how leaders align values with influence. Whether creating opportunities for refugees, implementing "open hiring" practices or corralling heads of state toward greater climate ambition, these leaders’ stories offer honesty, inspiration and insights for current and emerging business leaders alike. 10x Bolder is hosted by Halla Tómasdóttir, CEO of The B Team. The world’s crises are interdependent. The socioeconomic challenges we face are intergenerational. Our economic model is broken. But we can build a sustainable, more inclusive world if leaders everywhere commit to brave, collaborative action today. A new leadership playbook can deliver change in this decade—provided we summon the courage and elevate our leadership to meet this moment. The B Team is a global collective of business and civil society leaders advocating a better way of doing business for the wellbeing of people and the planet.
