Ep. 361: Leadership Inside Out: Unearthing the leader within

Guest: Susan Ney, author of “Leadership Inside Out”

The topic of leadership is confounding.

There are so many theories and concepts and guidebooks and textbooks that contradict one another and create confusion. Stand tall and lead from the front? Or lean in or support from the sidelines?

Many have no idea what it means to be a leader. You can trust your gut that somehow you are doing the right thing. But when you're doing the wrong thing, that feedback is immediate. What about the right thing? In that case, the evidence unfolds slowly – its effect is incremental at best and mostly, it is invisible.

This is why Susan Ney's book "Leadership Inside Out" is a relief to many.

"It’s a book about unearthing the leader inside you and changing your world for the better," Ney says. According to her, getting to that place of self discovery and confidence is a journey "filled with awe, wonderment, a tinge of sadness and disappointment. But ultimately it is about developing an appreciation of who you are and the confidence that comes with it."

Stuart McNish invited author, speaker, HR Professional and philosopher Susan Ney to join him for a Conversation That Matters about leadership from the inside out.
