When we talk about leadership, most of the time, the focus is on the results, like share prices and profit, rather than on the elements that create them, and this distracts us from the aspects of good leadership.

Today's challenge in this profit-focused world is encouraging good leadership practices and recognizing talent when we see it.

Leadership expert Chris Pearse used an analogy in his Forbes article 2018 on Leadership in Crisis, he said if you want to grow a pumpkin, you need four elements, earth, water, sun, and a seed. During the process of growing that pumpkin, your focus is on those four elements, not the pumpkin, and if done correctly, the result is a great pumpkin, and is this not true when it comes to growing leaders?

This episode will examine leadership dynamics and explore ways to improve leadership in today's challenging economy.
