What legacy do we leave as leaders? This question was prominent in my discussion with David Stewart, Principal at RYP International and Chairman of My Word. David argued that the leadership process includes coaching, influencing, supporting and guiding others. The discussion resonated with me as my belief that leadership is being of service to others.

Welcome to the third podcast for September and I promise a great conversation led by today’s podcast guest Bernie Kelly. He is the Chair of the Australian Transformation & Turnaround Association, an executive mentor, author and transformation advisor at Bernie Kelly Transformation Partner. I asked for Bernie’s key leadership capability list which included self-awareness, accountability, understanding other perspectives and  curiosity. The discussion regarding curiosity was really about being a life-long learner. Bernie argued that life-long learning involves the process of learning, unlearning and relearning are critical elements of fit for future leadership.
