The crisis of leadership — and a new way forward | Halla Tómasdóttir and Bryn Freedman

What should modern leadership look like? Entrepreneur and former Icelandic presidential candidate Halla Tómasdóttir thinks global leaders need to change their ways — or risk becoming irrelevant. In a conversation with curator Bryn Freedman, she shows how anybody can step up and make a difference, even if you don't yet have power. "There's a leader inside every single one of us," she says, "and our most important work in life is to release that leader."

  1. Yeah I think this is the worst Ted talk with a Q&A I’ve seen. She dodged several questions either purposely or because she did not understand the terms and should have asked for clarification.

  2. I like the woman & her optimism, but it won’t happen. The evils of the world already know they have full control & they knew this right from the getgo.

    This woman doesn’t understand what’s really going on & how capitalism is also responsible.

    None of the EVIL CORPS are going to give up their control. If they had ANY conscious (which they don’t), they would have eventually stopped what they are doing decades ago.

    I applaud the young ones for trying & this woman as well. She’s right, I can’t stand women who do biz as men do, but the world is sooo broken, fixing it this way just won’t happen.

    Gov’t needs to be eradicated. That’s one reason why the EVILS of the world get away with what they get away with b/c the gov’t protects them & controls us.

    Until people start learning how to love themselves instead of doing everything for everyone else (slavery), they start embracing small communities that work the way she mentioned & STOP worshipping the state, nothing will change.
