“Where we are now, compared to where we were 30 years ago is an entirely new, startlingly destructive time.” One of the things that I like to do on this podcast is have deeper conversations about issues regarding leadership, and what type of leader and person we need to become to lead effectively. That’s why I’m delighted to have Margaret Wheatley as my guest today.
