Listen "Episode #103. Interview with Bernard Desmidt on leadership effectiveness"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode Shelley and Bernard explore what leaders’ intentions are in how they show up with others. Is the interaction about ‘them’ or is it about the ‘collective’? Are they being intentional about how they’re investing their time and attention or are they being seduced by busyness without giving too much thought to its importance?
Bernard says that leaders seem to have “lost the ability to discern what is important and what is not”. Now, everything is equally important and he says the implications and opportunity cost of being busy without being intentional is significant.
