Today, the team is chatting to the amazing Dr. Paige Williams about her new book "The Leader's Ecosystem".

What we’ve been told ‘good’ leadership looks like wasn’t designed to meet the needs, challenges and opportunities of the ecosystem we live and lead in now.

The 9 critical essays in The Leaders Ecosystem provide a network of ideas and frameworks for leaders to successfully lead themselves, others, and systems to feel well and perform well through uncertainty.

In today's podcast, we break down some of the ideas in the new book like connecting to millennials, and how to stop the cycle of burning out and catching up.
