Listen Later

In this enlightening conversation, we're joined by Alex Budak, a professor at Haas Business School and the author of 'Becoming a Change Maker'. Alex shares his unique insights on micro leadership, the dynamics of champions, cynics, and fence sitters in our ability to make change, and the importance of taking a long-term perspective.


Alex Budak is not just a faculty member at Berkeley, but also a global director, entrepreneur, and changemaker who has helped countless students lead positive change in their communities. His book, 'Becoming a Change Maker', is a research-backed guide that helps individuals harness their potential to make a positive impact.


In this episode, Alex discusses his experiences of leading change, the concept of micro leadership, and the importance of building trust in ourselves. He emphasizes that change isn't just for your career, it's also for your personal life. He shares his belief that while leaders might be scarce, leadership is abundant. He encourages us to see leadership not as a title, but as an act, and to seize the leadership moments that appear around us every day.
