This is part 1 of a 4-part conversation on the context we need for improving leadership development.

Leadership development starts with understanding what leadership actually is—but most organizations skip that step entirely. In this Relationships at Work episode, Dr. Rob Lion joins Russel Lolacher to unpack the leadership confusion so many organizations suffer from. Together, they explore why we conflate productivity with leadership, why style-based development doesn’t work, and how a lack of shared definition breaks everything downstream.

• Why clarity is foundational in leadership development
