The Flourishing Culture Leadership Podcast

How is your organization developing emerging leaders? We believe a key role for every leader is to develop the next generation of leaders. And today, we talk with author and leader, Clay Scroggins, about the key to emerging leader development. We see that the world is changing rapidly and that what worked in the past may not work in the future. But what are the skills and qualities that emerging leaders need so they can lead into the future? This podcast will have clear takeaways for those who are stepping up as aspiring leaders. And those of us who are equipping and clearing the way for new leaders will also have an opportunity to learn and grow. I'm delighted to welcome Clay Scroggins, the author of several books. His latest book is The Aspiring Leader's Guide to the Future. Clay has a strong background in leadership development with a special focus on emerging leaders. He served with North Point Ministries in Atlanta for 20 years. Find full show notes here: https://bit.ly/s7e23clayscroggins Share the love.
