Great Work Interview: Lance Secretan, leadership expert

Dr. Lance Secretan is one of the world’s foremost thinkers about leadership.
He weaves together different strands of experience to bring his knowledge to the world, having been a CEO of a Fortune 100 company, an acclaimed business school professor and an accomplished skier. Of his fourteen books, I’ve been most influenced by his recent ones, Inspire! and One: The Art and Practice of Conscious Leadership and the way they have focused on the concept of higher ground leadership. Lance has won the International Caring Award and the McFeely Leadership Award.
In this interview Lance and I talk about:
- The CASTLE principles – six fundamentals concepts that underlie higher ground leadership
- The power of love in organizations – and why it’s not “California woo-woo” stuff
- How to harness the art of focus to tackle big challenges
- What it means to unlearn – and why it’s critical for future success
