To lead in today’s world, it’s essential you understand complexity, see simplicity in it, and synthesize opposing viewpoints. But where do you start? This week’s guest is Julio Ottino. thought leader, scientist, author and former Dean of engineering and applied science at North western University. Julio was the co-founder and director of the North western Institute on Complex Systems. He’s a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
