S3-Ep38: Flex: The Art & Science of Leadership in a Changing World

Featured Guest: Dr. Jeff Hull

In the past, to move up the corporate ladder and succeed at the top, you simply had to set goals, motivate the troops, delegate to underlings, and groom a successor. Now, if you are leading a team you must manage a kaleidoscope of people from a variety of cultures, across a range of ages, all of whom are wired together 24/7. These changing demographics and structures have led to a seismic shift in terms of the tools needed to successfully manage and grow within a company: charisma and strategic thinking abilities now matter less than qualities such as vulnerability and relatability.  Jeff Hull joins Maureen to discuss the research he has done on the art and science of leadership in a changing world that is featured in his book, Flex.
