S4-Ep10: Leadership in Crisis: Why Leaders Fail (& How to Help)

Guest: Sebastian Salicru, Psychologist & Author

Are we training leaders for a world that no longer exists?

Leadership expert and psychologist Sebastian Salicru joins host Maureen Metcalf to tackle one of today’s most pressing challenges: the failure of traditional leadership in a world defined by complexity and change. More importantly, they explore what today’s leaders actually need to succeed in a high-velocity world.

Here's what Sebastian and Maureen cover:

1. The breakdown and downfall of the heroic leader;
2. Why the billions of dollars spent on leadership development aren’t delivering results;
3. The very real yet positive role of failure and suffering in building great leaders; and
4. Why we must challenge the outdated mental models holding leadership back.
