How do you create lasting change in the world?
It’s a lofty question without an easy answer. So many people try and fall short of improving lives on the scale they hope for. However, it’s not impossible. Deep change is not only possible but necessary for progress. Change is also a cumulative effect, happening very slowly and only with the right circumstances. It takes inspiring leaders to take us to that next level, one step at a time. Gabrielle Kluck is trying to improve the world around her by doing just that, and now, she shares that vision with you.
Dov Pollack sits down with Gabrielle Kluck, Director of Ombudsman and Mediation Services at the United Nations (UN) World Food Programme, to discuss fostering change and mediating conflicts. The two talk through what it looks like to unlock new thinking in large organizations and how it can transform their work. They also go into humanity in the workplace, the UN’s work in the world, and the issues with gender washing. Hear it all on this episode of Next Wave Leadership!
