Moura Quayle: The Importance of Designed Leadership

In this episode Martha and Indira have a conversation with a woman leader who has demonstrated “nerve” throughout her entire life. 

Moura Quayle a renown strategic design scholar and urban systems designer. Moura has done it all—in both academia and government and community affairs. She has been an academic leader at UBC and has served in various leadership roles including Dean of the Faculty of Land and Food Systems, the founding Director of the School of Public Policy and Global Affairs, and most recently as Vice-Provost and Associate Vice-President of Academic Affairs, to name a few. 

In addition to her academic roles, Moura served as Deputy Minister of Advanced Education as well as being the B.C. Commissioner of the Pacific Coast Collaborative. Her research focuses on strategic design, especially as it is applied to leadership—authoring a groundbreaking book entitled Designed Leadership where she applies design principles to leadership. What a treat it is today to have a conversation with Moura Quayle, a woman who has truly had the nerve to “re-design” (if we may) leadership.
