The Leadership Growth Podcast

“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.
