Ep 311 Interview Sessions with Steven D'Souza | Shadows at Work - Harness Your Darkside and Unlock Your Leadership Potential
Steven D’Souza aka ‘The Leadership Philosopher’ is an award-winning executive educator, speaker, coach and best-selling author. He blends philosophy, psychology and Eastern and Western wisdom traditions with practical management approaches to bring a powerful new dynamic to organisational development and transformational leadership.We discuss Steven’s latest book ‘Shadows at Work: Harness Your Dark Side and Unlock Your Leadership Potential’ which explores how the parts of ourselves that we suppress, deny, or ignore (“the shadow”) show up in our work, leadership, and organizational culture — often unconsciously. Rather than treating those shadow aspects as inherently negative, Steven argues that when we bring them into awareness and integration, they can become sources ofcreativity, empathy, strength, and transformation.
