This rich conversation spanned topics from: 1. the end of leadership, 2. bad leadership and perspective antidotes, 3. how we as leaders think about followers and understand them, 4. how context informs effective leadership, 5. how leaders evaluate the environment to take effective action, 6. the current state of political leadership across the globe and some of the underlying trends. This conversation is a must listen for leaders trying to make sense of the current landscape in leadership and in organizations. Barbara’s insights will inspire your thinking about what you do as a leader and how you can improve your effectiveness.
