Earl de Blonville - The Catastrophic Failure of Leadership




Earl de Blonville (FRGS)

The Entertainers comments:
Earl de Blonville is an Author/Keynote and Explorer. His work is based around Postformal Leadership. The video below gives an excellent description of the nature of his work.  Earl is clearly passionate when he tells us that we are facing an uncertain future surrounding Leadership, particularly the void which exists between Baby Boomers and the Millennials.

He does not hold back during his keynote, his commitment to improving our current Leadership paradigms is evident by his impacting and hard hitting message. Certainly more suited to a higher level audience, however he has many strings to his bow and as such Earl can tailor nicely to suit other audiences; as was the case recently with a Melbourne Council Program Earl decided to support. Earl is also developing a Cyberstalking keynote after being subjected to a Cyberstalker himself.

Full of relevant content! A great option for a big impact!

Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society since 1984 & Expedition Advisor
In 2012 Earl was selected by Australia’s premier business magazine BRW as one of Australia’s top six leadership thinkers. He is a speaker with over 35 years experience and a consultant who has created high value outcomes across a range of sectors, scenarios and situations. 

Earl is a down-to-earth and creative practitioner, and a gifted communicator with a wry sense of humour who thrives on interaction with a wide range of audiences and clients.
His news is challenging; some will find it confronting. And his big picture insights will astound you. Earl’s doctoral research has identified three extraordinary leadership challenges that are coming our way and can’t be avoided: big ones that MBA schools are ignoring. He reveals how they will change the way that future leadership is understood and practiced. As an invited speaker this year in Denmark, France, Germany and Romania, his talks on ‘future leadership shock’ included two future-focused academic conferences, inspiring European and international audiences alike. Earl offers all audiences easy to grasp insights on what will rock global leadership and what can be done now to prepare for it, whatever the sector: business, government or non-profit.
Leadership is much more than a theory for Earl. He offers unforgettable insights drawn from 25 years of expedition field leadership, more than a decade of C-Suite leadership coaching, and some surprises from his global leadership research. His extraordinary stories of historical and contemporary field leadership, including his own extreme Arctic experience, reveal how leadership really works under the kind of pressures we will increasingly experience in tomorrow’s exciting world of chaotic global transition.
Earl made his name as an explorer in 1986 leading Australia’s first expedition to the Arctic, with the Prince of Wales as patron and Lord Shackleton as a key advisor. Earl’s dramatic leadership experiences in Greenland have generated widespread print and broadcast media, an internationally released documentary film, a successful Australian art exhibition, and inspired his acclaimed leadership book “Seventh Journey”.
Earl divides his time between Australia and Europe where his current research, speaking and consulting are focused.
