The Power of Leadership Narrative Intelligence

by Dr. Carol S. Pearson

30 June 2021 

Share this article:

The theme of this year’s ILA global conference calls us to Reimagine Leadership Together. For Carol Pearson, this is also a call to reimagine one’s own leadership. In this article, based on her book What Stories Are You Living, she discusses how a psychodynamic approach can encourage us to reflect and then act from the inside out.
