What will the leaders of 2023 need?

We speak to Jane Ide, CEO of ACEVO

The last two years have seen huge, unprecedented upheaval, leading to the current state of permacrisis. There are so many challenges facing civil society, and the wider world, into 2023. What qualities will leaders need for the road ahead?

Few civil society leaders are better placed to answer this question than Jane Ide, CEO of ACEVO, the Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations. Jane discusses why CEOs need time to think, and space to invest in relationships. We also discuss how leaders can master continuous change, both professionally and personally.

If you’re a leader who’s ever experienced doubt, wondered where to focus your attention or questioned whether you’re working as successfully as you can with your team this episode is for you. Jane’s insights are both inspiring and reassuring, and will set you on the right path for 2023.

Zoe and Paul also discuss how podcasts can be more inclusive, along with their views on racism at sector events.
