In this episode, Mahan Tavakoli speaks about the leadership lessons we can learn from the woman-led movement for freedom in Iran: Woman Life Freedom, Zan Zendegi, Azadi. Mahan shares why we need to think about power differently in society or organizations.

Mahan uses this example to show the need for a change of thinking in organizations with a greater need to align around purpose. Finally, Mahan shares the origins of the Stockdale Paradox and how that relates to the survival and success of all movements and change initiatives.
