What are the secrets of becoming a really great leader?

Jean interviews Craig Dowden, author of A Time to Lead: Mastering Your Self… So You Can Master Your World and positive psychology coach.

The most important qualities of leadership, he says, are trust and authenticity. Trust: your leaders will hear you, value you, consider your concerns, and be honest and transparent. Authenticity: their values, beliefs, and behaviors are in alignment.

Craig posits the seven pillars of leadership: mindset, emotions, resilience, strengths, feedback, difficult conversations, leadership, authenticity.

There’s much more. Watch Craig and Jean have a lively discussion about leadership and empathy.

Jean interviews Minal Bopaiah, author of Equity: How to Design Organizations Where Everyone Thrives. She has much to say about the long and complicated path for DEI.

Key highlights:

• why equity is not the same as equality,
• how ableism is the most entrenched source of oppression, and
• three obstacles to discussing systemic racism:
• • progress and personalization narrative,
  • belief in rugged individualism, and
  • the separate lives, separate fates narrative

Minal shows how the US benefits from other countries' publically funded education systems by recruiting their skilled workers, despite often opposing similar "socialized" education at home. This practice contributed to the "model minority" stereotype.
