Krish Kandiah OBE - 'Relentless: Why hope is the hardest but most necessary leadership trait'

Auditorium

We are living through an epidemic of burnout, cynicism, and quiet quitting. Organisations are losing their best people not because they lack strategy but because they have lost the plot. In this session, Krish draws on decades of frontline work with refugees, governments, and faith communities to make a provocative case: hope is not a soft optional extra for leaders. It is the hardest skill in the room. And right now, it is the rarest.

    We are living through an epidemic of burnout, cynicism, and quiet quitting. Organisations are losing their best people not because they lack strategy but because they have lost the plot. In this session, Krish draws on decades of frontline work with refugees, governments, and faith communities to make a provocative case: hope is not a soft optional extra for leaders. It is the hardest skill in the room. And right now, it is the rarest.

    Hope is not optimism nor wishful thinking. Krish unpacks what genuine hope actually looks like, why sustaining it costs more than most leadership books will admit, and why the organisations that get this right are the ones worth working for.
