At TEDxUtopia, the question was asked: What would leadership in Utopia look like? To start with, imagine the best leader you have ever worked with. How did he or she get to become this type of leader? Leadership lecturer and former corporate executive Lars Sudmann argues that it’s likely that they learned to overcome the “leadership formula of doom” and then developed themselves as a leader. In this funny and invigorating talk, Lars walks us through the personal journeys of great leaders, shows lessons from the golden age of leadership, and shares 3 strategies on self-leadership to develop yourself into a “Utopia leader”.

Lars Sudmann is a leadership advisor and award-winning lecturer. He studies and researches what makes the most advanced organizations and leaders successful – and then he shares that knowledge with the world.
