TALK

Feeling the Future Talk with Tong Yee

Human emotion and the agility in which it shifts might be the clearest indicator of the success of leadership teams, and an indicator of the quality and range of personal leadership. When crisis comes, whatever its form, observing the emotions that emerge over time reveals societal cultures, behaviours and habits.

Tong Yee (Co-Founder and Director of The Thought Collective) reflects on this season of crisis – how it tells us so much about who we are as societies and states, and reveals powerful wisdom if we care to look.

Following his talk, Tong Yee will also be participating in a Q&A moderated by Honor Harger (Executive Director, ArtScience Museum).
