How do we enhance leadership? How do we accelerate team genius? This 60-minute conversation focuses on pathways and principles of personal and professional leadership. We look at some of the leadership qualities of Pierre Elliot Trudeau when he was Prime Minsiter and explore the meaning of team genius, emotional intelligence, the art of mentoring and what we can learn from master leaders.
We examine the importance of deep empathy, deep eloquence, and deep endurance and create a short list of actions to improve our personal and professional leadership skills.
