Are Leaders Born or Made?
The Leaders Intent Podcast Featuring Guest Bill Fournet
Is leadership learned… or are you born with it? This is one of the most often asked leadership questions that I hear people ask. In a new podcast hosted by my friend — and longtime client — Ronnie Stephens, we delve deeper together on this question and more. It is truly an honor to be Ronnie’s first guest on the “Leaders’ Intent” podcast.
The Leaders Intent Podcast talks about relevant business issues and topics that leaders and employees are facing in today’s ever changing world. The goal is to educate the audience on a topic and to give practical, real-world examples on how the listeners can apply different tools, techniques, and resources.
In this inaugural episode, we talk about leadership development, as well as key characteristics and qualities that are imperative to good leaders. Ronnie and I also touch on strategies for leading through disruption, the importance of feedback for leaders, strategies for beating burnout, and trends around hybrid and remote work culture.
