#4: Narration - Jen Easterly

To adapt to change and manage periods of disruption, leaders tell stories about the world to help audiences and organizations see their way forward. What is the role of storytelling in dealing with complex, disruptive change and how have stories helped leaders to shape the future? In this episode, Jonathan and DJ speak with Jen Easterly, Managing Director of Morgan Stanley and Global Head of the Firm’s Cybersecurity Fusion Center, whose charge is to assess, detect, and respond to cyber threats, vulnerabilities, and incidents that incur risk to the firm. Former Special Assistant to President Obama and Senior Director for Counterterrorism in the Obama White House, Ms. Easterly was also a key player in the creation of U.S. Cyber Command.
