You’ve been through leadership training; why didn’t it work?
Because it wasn’t about you. That’s the conclusion Jonathan Reams – the CCO of Norway’s Center for Transformative Leadership – came to. You’re unique, and most off-the-shelf leadership programs don’t take the time for you to dig deep into yourself to discover what makes you tick as a leader…and as a person. He and host Maureen Metcalf discuss that, and the solutions available to you right now.
Here’s what Jonathan and Maureen cover:
- Why the elites reserve the best leadership training – and funding – for themselves;
- How Jonathan is democratizing leadership development tools so you can use them, too; and
- Why you can’t truly grow as a leader without doing deep inner work to overcome “immunity to change” and other personal factors.
Jonathan Reams is Chief Creative Officer at the Center for Transformative Leadership and the author of Maturing Leadership: How Adult Development Impacts Leadership.
