Leadership has become something different.

In light of the pandemic, political turmoil and socioeconomic changes over the last two years, leaders are being asked to develop brand new skills. Employees want us to take a stand on social justice issues and be more emotionally available at work.

So, what does the leader of the future look like? That's the central question of my new podcast, Workplace Forward.

Today, I'm discussing where the idea for Workplace Forward came from and considering what skills the leader of the future needs to be successful.

I name drop some of the authors, thought leaders, innovators and C-level executives I'm interviewing on the new show and share some of the leadership topics covered in both live and upcoming episodes.

Listen in for insight into the themes of embracing desirable difficulty, storytelling to drive action and the business case for empathy we explore on Workplace Forward.

Themes explored in this week’s episode:

  • Where the idea for the Workplace Forward podcast came from
  • How leadership is evolving in light of the pandemic, political turmoil and socioeconomic changes in the last 2 years
