The Self-evolved Leader: Elevate Your Focus and Develop Your People in a World That Refuses to Slow Down

I love the topic of leadership and speaking to experts in the field that deal with leadership on a daily basis. Dave McKeown is the author of The Self-evolved Leader and in this conversation, I ask Dave to explain to us how leadership has changed and what we can all do to better improve our leadership qualities.

It’s not just a discussion for managers and CEO’s, leadership is important to all of us regardless of our career. Most importantly leadership matters to those who want to master their own life. Enjoy!
