In this conversation with Paul Lawrence and Suzi Skinner we dive into their new book, The Wise Leader, and explore how coaching can foster wise leaders, the heart of reflective learning, how effective leaders think differently, multiplicity theory and self-transcendence, power dynamics and connectivity, and the art of dialogue.
