TED is a global community that welcomes people from every culture and discipline who share their insights on the deeper understanding of the world here.
TED believes passionately that great ideas can change lives, attitudes, and yes, the world.
Here’s a synopsis of the 9 must-watch TED talks on leadership and business.
In this video, Halla stresses the need for structural changes in leadership roles within organizations to overcome the present leadership crisis, like being more equable in gender terms, accommodating people with diverse backgrounds and opinions, shunning the “I know it all, and therefore, have a fix for all problems” kind of attitude, plugging the generational gap and bringing on a refreshing leadership style that ensures the wellness of both humans and our planet.

He shares lessons learned from companies on both sides of the innovation wave on how to structure your organization so that people at all levels are empowered to make fast decisions and respond to change.
Most companies operate on a set of policies: mandated vacation days, travel guidelines, standard work hours, annual goals.
But what happens when a company looks less to control and more to trust? Patty McCord, the iconic former chief talent officer at Netflix, shares the key insights that led her to toss the handbook out the window.
Leadership doesn't have a user's manual, but Fields Wicker-Miurin says stories of remarkable, local leaders are the next best thing.
The world is full of leadership programs, but the best way to learn how to lead might be right under your nose.
In this clear, candid talk, Roselinde Torres describes 25 years observing truly great leaders at work, and shares the three simple but crucial questions would-be company chiefs need to ask to thrive in the future.
Today's headlines suggest that globalization is on the decline, but researcher Arindam Bhattacharya argues that it's not going extinct -- it's evolving. Old globalization was traditionally measured in goods traded.
New globalization, as Bhattacharya describes, can be measured in cross-border data flow (which by 2025 could be worth more than the world's exports combined). In other words, the world economy is far from dead -- it's growing.
Bhattacharya shares insights into this new normal and what it means for the world as we know it.
