Episode notes

What if the leadership development approach your organization built five years ago is already obsolete? In this episode of Humanity at Scale , host Bruce Temkin sits down with Heather Conklin , CEO of Torch , about why leadership development models built for stability are no longer fit for today’s complexity. They explore why human skills are a true competitive advantage, how coaching and feedback must be embedded into daily work, and why one-off workshops fall short. The conversation unpacks systems thinking, AI-driven uncertainty, and the need for continuous, human-centred support to help leaders adapt, connect, and lead effectively at scale.
