In this episode of Unlock Your Leadership, Dr Gary Crotaz is joined by Alex Lazarus — founder of Lazarus & Maverick, leadership coach, and culture transformation specialist — for a dynamic conversation about what it really takes to build high-performing, human-centred organisations. Alex shares insights from years of helping leaders and teams navigate complexity, drive meaningful change, and create cultures where people thrive. She and Gary explore the tension between performance and wellbeing, how to lead boldly through uncertainty, and why courage, curiosity and connection are the cornerstones of modern leadership. They discuss how to unlock “maverick energy” — the creative, values-driven force that turns good teams into exceptional ones — and how leaders can design cultures that empower authenticity and innovation. It’s an energising and provocative conversation about leading with heart and edge — and how to build organisations that are as bold as the people within them.
