Kevin Cashman, Leadership from the Inside Out

Kevin Cashman’s Leadership from the Inside Out was published in 1998 and has firmly established itself as a classic in the leadership genre. It really covers a wide approach to thinking about what are the areas of mastery you need to look at and approach to step into your full power as a leader, whether you’re at the top of the tree or just starting out on your career. Kevin is the Senior Partner of Leadership and Talent Consulting at Korn/Ferry International, one of the really big players in the HR and executive and talent consultancies in the world. He and his team have done coaching work for thousands of senior executives and senior teams in more than 50 countries world wide and Kevin was recently named one of the top 15 leaders in the world by Executive Excellence magazine.

In this interview we discuss:

• The one question at the one moment that gave Kevin clarity and focus
• How our accomplishments can obscure something more important about who we really are
• Why managing your energy is so critical
• And meditation as a leadership tool.

You can learn more about Kevin’s work at the Korn Ferry workshop.
