E58: Developing Warriors for the Human Spirit with Margaret Wheatley (Part 1 )

Power Presence Academy | Leadership with Less Ego And More Soul

“Where we are now, compared to where we were 30 years ago is an entirely new, startlingly destructive time.”
One of the things that I like to do on this podcast is have deeper conversations about issues regarding leadership, and what type of leader and person we need to become to lead effectively. That’s why I’m delighted to have Margaret Wheatley as my guest today.
As a consultant, senior-level advisor, teacher, speaker, and formal leader, she has worked on all continents (except Antarctica) with all levels, ages, and types of organizations, leaders, and activists. Her work now focuses on developing and supporting leaders globally as Warriors for the Human Spirit.
We cover everything from societal destruction to elevating your individual consciousness.
In this episode:

• What motivated Margaret to write her book “Leadership and the New Science”
• The common denominators contributing to the destructive state of our time
• Human nature, leadership, and societal destruction
• Elevating your individual consciousness
• And more!
