In today’s fast-paced business environment, leadership demands more than functional expertise—it requires a broad, cross-disciplinary perspective.
In this episode of Leaders in the Arena, hear from two retired senior executives from Unum—Tom White and Wendy Gibson—for a dynamic 30-minute conversation on how leadership development must evolve to meet today’s challenges.
Tom and Wendy explore how expanding business acumen across tech, data, finance, and operations helps leaders connect the dots, ask better questions, and lead with foresight. Learn why scenario thinking, curiosity beyond your day-to-day, and the ability to adapt across industries are becoming essential skills for modern leaders.
