The Provocateurs: Episode 34 with Karthik Ramanna

July 30, 2025 @ 9:00 am BST

Leading in the Age of Outrage

Karthik Ramanna is a professor of business and public policy at the University of Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government and author of The Age of Outrage: How to Lead in a Polarized World – recently named one of Thinkers50’s Best Management Books of 2025.

In this episode of The Provocateurs, Karthik identifies three distinctive forces shaping our current moment: profound uncertainty about the future driven by AI, climate change, and demographic shifts; deep distrust in institutions of governance that people feel have delivered a “raw deal”; and a shift away from global humanism toward economic and cultural nationalism.

Discover the tools and techniques leaders can adopt not only to manage outrage but to manage in the age of outrage, including:

  • How to build an active listening network
  • A 5-step framework for maintaining calm 
  • Lessons from “temperate leadership”

Ideas, says Karthik, are everywhere, but implementation is everything.
