S5-Ep7: Transformational Leadership & Ethics
Guest: Ron Riggio Are great leaders born, or forged? Ron Riggio followed up on the four-decade-long Fullerton Longitudinal Study to uncover the childhood characteristics that indicated later leadership qualities. Those results further informed his work on transformational leadership. He discusses his findings with host Maureen Metcalf…as well as the interplay between transformational leadership and ethics.
