In this episode of Leadership: The Secret Sauce, we sit down with Dr. Richard Boyatzis—one of the most influential voices in leadership science, emotional intelligence, and coaching over the last five decades.

Richard shares:

The origin story of the competency movement in the 1970s

The key question that opens the brain for real change

Why vision—not goals—is the real engine of transformation

How supervision can limit coaches (and what works better)

The moment he discovered his own “secret sauce”

A grounded, hopeful take on artificial intelligence and the future of coaching

The neuroscience behind why coaching with compassion works

Why most organizations still misunderstand development

This episode is rich, warm, provocative, and full of the kind of wisdom you can only get from someone who has shaped the field—and is still pushing it forward.
