What is leadership, really—and how is it different from management? In this thought-provoking episode of the Leading Up podcast, Dr. Barbara Kellerman, renowned Harvard leadership scholar, author of Leadership from Bad to Worse, and one of the world’s foremost voices on power, dives deep into the myths, history, and future of leadership. 📚
She explores why leadership can’t be reduced to a set of habits or hacks, what we’ve misunderstood about context and followership, and how ethical leadership must be taught and practiced over a lifetime—not a weekend workshop.
