Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson joins iCapital CEO and 19th Hole host Lawrence Calcano for a conversation on leadership, culture, innovation, and navigating transformation in a rapidly changing world.
Recorded at Johnson's Montana ranch, the discussion explores the principles that have guided her career, from championing alternatives early and integrating major acquisitions to embracing emerging technologies like AI, blockchain, and tokenization. Johnson shares insight on why great leaders shouldn't strive for consensus, how healthy disagreement leads to better decisions, and why culture remains one of the most important factors in long-term success.
The conversation also covers adapting to technological change, balancing conviction with instinct, and why continuous improvement may be one of the most valuable leadership traits for the future.
