In a polarized world, where anger is widespread and outrage is everywhere, how do you keep your team together, work well with all your stakeholders, and take your organization forward with calmness and confidence?

Whether you're managing people, leading a business, or running a country, do you have what it takes to stay in control – and maybe even find some valuable creative charge amid the chaos?

Karthik Ramanna thinks you can, and has tested his theories with the next generation of world leaders. He's Professor of Business and Public Policy at the University of Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government, and he's turned his experiences there into a revolutionary new how-to book about surviving and thriving in this "age of outrage."

Hear him in conversation with Jonathan Hancock on this expert-led episode of Pain Points. Discover why we're so divided, what it means for you at work, and how to "turn down the temperature" to start protecting your sanity and performing at your best.
