Human Capital Leadership

In this "HBR Minute" HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanhwestover/) explores the recent HBR video, "The Explainer: What It Takes to Be a Great Leader." See the video and details here: https://youtu.be/LU84BFFqKvI. Video Overview: "“Level 5” leadership is about combining fierce resolve with personal humility. “Level 5” refers to the highest level in a hierarchy of executive capabilities. Leaders at the other four levels in the hierarchy can produce high degrees of success but not enough to elevate companies from mediocrity to sustained excellence. Level 5 leaders blend extreme personal humility with intense professional will. And while Level 5 leadership is not the only requirement for transforming a good company into a great one — other factors include getting the right people on the bus (and the wrong people off the bus) and creating a culture of discipline — research shows it to be essential. Good-to-great transformations don’t happen without Level 5 leaders at the helm. They just don’t."

In this HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanhwestover/) talks with Steve Leveen about developing your company's multilingual skills for a competitive edge. See the video here: https://youtu.be/j_yRwbFSjvM. Steve Leveen (https://www.linkedin.com/in/steveleveen/) is the author of America’s Bilingual Century: How Americans are giving the gift of bilingualism to themselves, their loved ones, and their country (America the Bilingual Press, January 2021). Based on a decade of research, plus hundreds of interviews with language teachers and researchers as well as bilinguals, this foundational work puts forth a new vision for America, one that Steve maintains is already coming into focus throughout the country—namely, an America where nearly all who live here speak English and another language. Steve offers his own midlife awakening to bilingualism as proof that, just as it’s never too early to learn another language, it’s also never too late. He has made Spanish his “adopted language.” In researching America’s Bilingual Century, Steve spent two fellowship years at Harvard and Stanford, interviewing some of the country’s major scholars of bilingualism. America’s Bilingual Century is part of the America the Bilingual Project, an advocacy initiative that Steve began in 2017 to help foster a stronger and healthier nation through bilingualism. In founding America the Bilingual, Steve embarked on his encore career.
