Who Are You in the Room, Identity vs Positionality, and Leadership in Times of Disruption
A conversation with humanitarian leader Aisha Tambajang on identity and positionality, and how individuals present themselves in different spaces across geography and power structures. The hosts examine ancestral responsibility, values-based leadership, and the distinction between "rushing to fix" versus "curiosity to solve." Reflections on institutional tensions between headquarters and field operations, and what unscripted, honest dialogue about sector challenges actually looks like.
