Leadership and character are hard to teach, and hard to master. But what if we've been searching for the answer in all the wrong places? What if character-driven leadership is less about "fixing" people by having them develop new neural pathways, and more about "sparking" them by nudging them to use underutilized neural pathways that already exist within their brain? Based on his research, teaching and experiments at Columbia Business School and the Mentora Institute, Dr. Hitendra Wadhwa shared some very positive new findings on how we can help people accelerate their path to exemplary leadership and achieve breakthroughs in performance by approaching exemplary leadership not as a trait to be acquired but as a state to be activated, by shifting the focus from learning on the sidelines to leading in the flow of work.
