Podcast Overview

Leadership in Flux is your compass in a disordered world—where complexity is the norm, disruption is constant, and yesterday's playbook no longer applies. Hosted by Sanjiv Augustine, a pioneering voice in Agile leadership and organizational transformation, this podcast dives deep into what it really takes to lead with impact in a BANI (Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, and Incomprehensible) world. Each episode features unfiltered conversations with seasoned executives, bold innovators, and change agents who are redefining leadership in real time. From navigating enterprise-wide Agile transformations to reshaping operating models and embedding AI into core strategies, we explore the mindsets, methods, and moments that define modern leadership. You'll hear stories of failure and reinvention, practical frameworks for thriving amidst ambiguity, and the human side of leading through volatility. Whether you're a C-suite leader, transformation architect, or rising changemaker, Leadership in Flux equips you with the clarity, courage, and adaptability to stay ahead of the curve—and help others do the same. This is more than a podcast. It's a leadership lab for the future.

As Director of Transformation Strategy and Execution, she works at the intersection of AI adoption, organizational change, and the stubborn human dynamics that determine whether change sticks.</div> <div> </div> <div>Jennifer's approach starts with a simple premise: People are the system. When they understand where they're going, trust the people leading them, and can close the gap between ideas and daily reality, transformation is inevitable.</div> <div> </div> <div>Her work focuses on building the infrastructure, shared language, and organizational conditions that make change not just possible but repeatable. She writes about transformation at the human level on Substack and LinkedIn, where she explores why lasting change is harder than it looks and closer than it feels.</div> <div><u> </u></div> <div><a id= "m_-195994941129761224OWA8434e088-75f5-eb6d-4b1d-16eb2d0b0404" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jarndt/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.linkedin.com/in/jarndt/&source=gmail&ust=1782824553920000&usg=AOvVaw1HVScDsdG8zjmIOpcRBP2y"> <u>https://www.linkedin.com/in/<wbr />jarndt/</u></a></div> <div><a id= "m_-195994941129761224OWAd6499d23-071b-8c41-9c4d-732b50b640e3" href="https://jaarndt.substack.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?q=https://jaarndt.substack.com/&source=gmail&ust=1782824553920000&usg=AOvVaw3Op3n14-encf41JCvX3Ecd"> <u>https://jaarndt.substack.com/</u></a></div> <div> </div> <p>See more episodes here: <a href= "https://lithespeed.com/leadership_in_flux/">https://lithespeed.com/leadership_in_flux/</a></p> <p>Learn more about LitheSpeed: <a href= "https://lithespeed.com/">https://lithespeed.com/</a></p> <p>Connect with Sanjiv Augustine: <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/sanjivaugustine/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/sanjivaugustine/</a></p>
