42 minutes

Today, I’m joined by Willie Pietersen, and we're discussing why Strategy Fails Without Leadership. Willie has practiced and studied leadership as a CEO of multibillion-dollar businesses, as a professor at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Business, and as a consultant to some of the world’s biggest and best-known organizations, from Ericsson and Johnson & Johnson to ExxonMobil and the Girl Scouts of America. He is the author of Leadership—The Inside Story: Time-Tested Prescriptions for Those Who Seek to Lead. In this book, Willie offers penetrating, often

surprising insights from a lifetime of experience as a business leader. He shares his unique perspective on leadership as an unending journey of learning, adaptation, and growth. I’m excited to have him on the show to learn more about Why Strategy Fails Without Leadership.
