Description

“Nothing is improved by accident,” says Peter Stewart.

When it comes to leadership development, the need for intentional improvement is greater than ever, according to a recent report from Boston Consulting Group.

In this episode, Peter and Daniel discuss the importance of behavior and emotional intelligence for leaders and warn against “boxology”--shifting organizational boxes and pursuing change for the sake of change.

Daniel also shares his “spectrum of conscientiousness” theory–the observation that leaders have a spectrum of interest in pursuing behavior change.
