Ep 361 - Leadership Inside Out

Guest: Susan Ney

 

The topic of leadership is confounding. There are so many theories and concepts and guidebooks and textbooks that contradict one another and create confusion. Do I stand tall and lead from the front, or do I lean in or support from the sidelines?

 

It’s easy for me to say I have no idea what it means to be a leader. I really don’t. I’ve just had to trust my gut that somehow I was doing the right thing. I know quickly enough when I’m doing the wrong thing, that feedback is immediate. But the right thing, the evidence unfolds slowly, it’s effect is incremental at best and mostly it is invisible.

 

I was relieved recently when Susan Ney published her book, Leadership Inside Out. “It’s a book about unearthing the leader inside you and changing your world for the better”, says Ney.  Getting to that place of self discovery and confidence is a journey she goes on to say, “is a journey filled with awe, wonderment, a tinge of sadness and disappointment but ultimately it is about developing an appreciation of who you are and the confidence that comes with it.”

 

Stuart McNish invited author, speaker, HR Professional and philosopher Susan Ney to join me for a Conversation That Matters about leadership from the inside out.
