Conscious Leaders with Ruth Farenga · 2024-12-06 · 49 min
Megan has a long history of working at the cutting edge of leadership development and marks a departure from the usual guest on this podcast. She is a deep thinker and researcher around how leaders need to behave in what she calls a ‘pathologically busy’ workplace. This interview explores how our society has an over focus on the short-term, the to do list which leads to rampant busyness. This is not the role of a leader who needs to be able to step back and have perspective. Megan shares how reflective practices and wise attention will help us become the leaders we want to be. A powerful episode with lots of evidence. You will take away: • An exploration of the tightrope leaders walk with being strong vs being vulnerable • How psychologically safety is built - speaking up and listening up • The moral case for having a positive impact as a leader • Examples and discipline and practices in carving out the right kind of attention so we have a chance to lead effectively Links and info Megan Reitz is a Professor Leadership and Dialogue at Hult Ashridge Business School, she is an Associate Fellow at Said Business School at Oxford University.
