Adam Galinsky: A Blueprint for Inspiring Leadership

 

 

Renowned social psychologist and Columbia Business School professor Adam Galinsky, has dedicated his academic career to understanding the intricacies of leadership and human behavior. His latest book, “Inspire: The Universal Path for Leading Yourself and Others,” offers a compelling exploration of what it takes to be an inspiring leader.

Adam is clear that inspiring leadership is rarely an innate trait, but rather a skill we all can develop through conscious effort and practice.

In “Inspire,” he presents a groundbreaking framework for understanding the qualities that make leaders truly inspiring – and he identifies three universal characteristics that define inspiring leaders: Visionaries, Exemplars, and Mentor:

Visionaries offer a big-picture, optimistic, and accessible vision of the future. They help others see beyond the present challenges and imagine a better tomorrow. 

Exemplars are courageous and calm protectors who express authentic passion while remaining consistent in word and deed. They lead by example, demonstrating the behaviors they expect from others

Mentors encourage, empower, and challenge others, fostering growth and development through genuine empathy and support.

“Inspire” is more than just a book on leadership; it’s a guide to becoming a more effective decision-maker, a wise problem-solver, a value-creating negotiator, and an inclusive and ethical guide
