Episode #51: The leading edge of conscious leadership

Bob Anderson is the co-creator of the most effective 360 leadership development tool, The Leadership Profile. More than that he is an ardent student and practitioner of leading-edge leadership development. Join us this week as we discuss conscious/integral leadership, adult development and why in an era of constant and accelerating change ‘conscious’ leaders have never been more important. Hear Bob discuss ‘conscious’ leadership as an essential element of building an agile organization. Is your leadership development model producing highly dynamic and reflective leaders who focus on relationships? Or are you in the ‘old mode’ of leaders who focus on tasks and compliance (hit the targets I give you) at the expense of relationships and miss the opportunity to create psychological safety and enable others to takes risks, and learn and adapt quickly to changes in the  business environment and customer needs. ** If you enjoy this podcast, would you consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?
