Episode notes

What does it take to lead not just organizations - but cultures? In this episode of Leaders in the Arena , hear a conversation with Don Sweeney , retired Ernst & Young partner and leader in the firm’s healthcare consulting practice. During a period of rapid growth and disruption, Don helped lead the Quest Leadership Program , an initiative designed to shift EY’s culture from technical expertise to transformational leadership. Drawing on his experience guiding large-scale organizational change, Don reflects on what it takes to develop leaders who build strong relationships, shape culture, and sustain long-term impact. From global consulting to nonprofit board leadership, this conversation explores how leadership is ultimately expressed not in position, but in the quality of relationships leaders cultivate.
