#2: Human-Centered 21st century leadership, seizing the new Mandelas - Anthony Howard

This week I speak with global CEO Whisperer, Anthony Howard, author of the book Humanise: Why Human-Centred Leadership is the Key to the 21st Century; a guide for those who want to apply moral leadership in business, government, and society to change the world. 

In this talk we cover a lot of ground; how human-centric leadership will shape the leaders of tomorrow, the key abilities to become a human-centered leader, power questions that trigger a new way of thinking, and how organizational structures can alienate people from their life and soul.

Anthony is CEO at the Confidere Group: that serve mentors to influential leaders, he is a Ph.D. candidate in philosophy and authentic leadership, and lives with his family at a farm in the countryside of Australia. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
