><p><strong>Speaker:<\/strong> Derek Sivers is an entrepreneur, author and musician.

Using a seemingly silly dancing video, Sivers debunks the glorification of leadership in a talk that is entertaining and disarmingly simple.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Surprising takeaway:<\/strong> Leadership is over-glorified.

In trying to answer this question, Daryl Davis faced racism head-on and with an open heart. His story of befriending an Imperial Wizard of the KKK as a Black man seems so unlikely, it\u2019s hard to believe. But Davis has the evidence and shows us the power and the importance of listening to our adversaries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Surprising takeaway:<\/strong> You can respect people you don\u2019t agree with (maybe not a surprising insight, but one that is underutilised).<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Perspective_is_everything\">Perspective is everything<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kghq78dt-d0beab5181e65331c268fec185a9d4dd\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-kghq78dt-d0beab5181e65331c268fec185a9d4dd{\nheight:30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-kghq78dt-d0beab5181e65331c268fec185a9d4dd hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-19  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_codeblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kghq78dt-d0beab5181e65331c268fec185a9d4dd\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-kghq78dt-d0beab5181e65331c268fec185a9d4dd{\nheight:30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-kghq78dt-d0beab5181e65331c268fec185a9d4dd hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-21  el_after_av_codeblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-jw2840sd-a46ab5df0baa4ba1772e8ac5ed70f824 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>Speaker:<\/strong> Rory Sutherland is Vice Chairman of the Ogilvy &amp; Mather Group, one of the world\u2019s most renowned ad agencies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date and location:<\/strong> TEDxAthens, Greece, December 2011<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why we like the talk:<\/strong> Rory Sutherland argues convincingly that facts are not as important as our perspective on them.
