Confronting the Future of Leadership (ft. Special Guest, author Tom Casey)
We are confronted on an almost daily basis with a new report about so-called leaders who are removed from their positions for poor performance, scandalous behavior, or the ubiquitous “loss of confidence.” These stories occur so often it makes us wonder if the label “good leader” is an oxymoron, if the art of leadership is dead and gone, and perhaps most importantly, what the future looks like if this is the case. Today’s podcast guest is Tom Casey, a leadership expert, advisor, and author whose latest book on the topic is called “Leadership’s Future—Confronting Not Condoning!” Tom and Tony discuss the traits that expose poor leaders, the qualities that elevate good ones—many of which are unfortunately lacking in today’s corporate, military, and political leadership—and finally, share their expertise on shaping future leaders to be curious, empathetic, and accountable.
