Catalyst Live: Leading with Strategic Inquiry
Catalyst Live: Leading with Strategic Inquiry is a 90‑minute, high‑impact learning session designed for senior UN leaders who want to sharpen their strategic judgement and navigate complexity with greater confidence.
Led by Steve Mostyn, Fellow at Oxford University’s Saïd Business School and faculty member for executive leadership development programmes at UNSSC, this interactive session draws on cutting‑edge leadership research and real‑world executive practice. Participants will leave with concrete tools to ask better questions, surface deeper insight, and catalyse more strategic conversations across their organisations.
In today’s operating environment, senior UN leaders are expected to act decisively while holding space for multiple perspectives and having foresight of systemic impact and sustainability. Yet many of the most consequential leadership moments hinge not on having the right answers, but on asking the right questions.
Catalyst Live: Leading with Strategic Inquiry explores how curiosity and strategic inquiry can become a leadership advantage. Building on Steve Mostyn’s work and his book Why Great Leaders Ask Great Questions, the session reframes inquiry as a core executive capability - one that strengthens alignment, unlocks possibility, and improves the quality of decisions in complex, ambiguous contexts.
