Chief Change Officer #422 Kevin Eikenberry: Leading on Purpose, Not by Default — Part Two
In Part Two, Kevin Eikenberry challenges the myth that leadership is just for those with formal authority. He unpacks the idea of “leadership by choice,” reflects on the rise of remote work, and shares practical advice for building influence, trust, and connection—especially when you’re not in the same room. With insights from decades of coaching and his own mistakes, Kevin makes a compelling case: the future of work belongs to people who choose to lead, wherever they are.
