In this episode, we chat with Cameron Bailey, CEO of the Toronto International Film Festival.

Cameron shapes the vision and strategy of one of Canada’s premier cultural brands, responsible for presenting the world’s largest public film festival every September.

A champion of diverse voices and bold storytelling, he’s been the guiding force in transforming TIFF into a global hub known for groundbreaking international premieres to Oscar-bound favourites.

With an eye for brilliance and a heart for storytelling, Cameron Bailey talks to us today about the evolution of technology in film, creating magical moments with an audience, and how important it is to remember that the audience…is us.

We recorded this episode in Varda at TIFF Lightbox, an inspiring setting to reflect on the past, present, and future of film.

What is the impact of ambiguity in the workplace?

Professors Laura and Jan Doering from University of Toronto help answer this question from their recently published research, co-authored with Professor András Tilcsik.

Laura Doering is an Associate Professor of Strategic Management and is cross-appointed in the Department of Sociology. Jan Doering is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Toronto.

As an economic sociologist, Laura examines how interactions and social psychological processes shape outcomes for households, organizations, and markets. Jan’s research is situated in two areas: social control and conflict in urban neighbourhoods and individual experiences and responses in relation to discrimination.

We speak to Laura and Jan about ambiguous incidents in the workplace, uncertainty, and blind spots. We learn about their unique collaboration: in research, marriage, and life.
