Part 1: Resilience Across Career Stages with Rahul Chandran and Dr. Joanne Liu
Hosts Matthew and Mohini welcome two distinguished guests, Dr. Joanne Liu and Rahul Chandran, to Built to Lead, to explore the theme of resilient leadership in high-stakes global environments. Joanne, a globally recognized medical humanitarian leader and former International President of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), and Rahul, Chief Strategy and Partnership Officer at Grand Challenges Canada, share their insights from extensive experience in humanitarian innovation and global health leadership.
In this compelling conversation, Joanne and Rahul discuss the complexities of deciding when to stand up or step back in leadership roles, highlighting the critical importance of assessment, consultation, and intellectual clarity. They challenge the traditional concept of resilience, redefining it as a blend of adaptability, persistence, and emotional intelligence, rather than simply \"toughing it out.\"
Both guests underscore the role of values-based leadership, emphasizing ethical clarity and humility as essential traits, particularly when navigating ambiguity and crisis. Rahul emphasizes the courage to seek help and admit uncertainty, while Joanne highlights the strength found in humility and genuine engagement with teams and stakeholders.
Stay tuned for Part 2, where Rahul and Joanne delve further into navigating career transitions, mentorship, and practical leadership strategies for emerging leaders.
