#452 Disrupt Everything and Win: How Leaders Take Control of Their Future in Times of Radical Change | Niels Brabandt Interviews Dr. Patrick Leddin

In a world defined by volatility, disruption and rapid transformation, leaders face a critical question: Do you merely react to disruption, or do you use it to take control of your future?

In this episode, Niels Brabandt speaks with Dr. Patrick Leddin — professor at Vanderbilt University, bestselling author, former U.S. Army officer, entrepreneur and one of the world's leading voices on leadership in times of uncertainty. Together, they unpack the core message of Dr. Leddin's new book: Disrupt Everything and Win.

This conversation delivers deep insights for executives, board members and organisational decision makers:

• Why disruption is not a threat but a strategic opportunity

• How to turn fear of change into constructive action

• The 27 positive disruptor moves that empower leaders and teams

• How to manage AI-driven uncertainty without losing credibility

• Why the best leaders openly acknowledge what they don't know

• The critical difference between performing today and transforming for tomorrow

• How to build resilience while still delivering on KPIs

• What leaders can learn from Dr. Leddin's three-year research study of 350 disruptors

• Why small experiments outperform big promises

• How teams become stronger when they decentralise decision making during crisis

• How mid-level leaders take control even when they cannot control circumstances

This episode provides a practical, evidence-based roadmap for leaders who want to thrive — not survive — in an era where disruption has become constant.
