Be real.

Be whole.

Be innovative.

That’s the essence of Total Leadership, and Stew Friedman is the man behind it and the best-selling book of the same title. He’s been at the forefront of evolution of leadership thinking (and being) for more than twenty year as senior faculty at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. And he’s honed his thoughts on leadership by spending time as the Director of Ford’s Leadership Develop Centre.

In our conversation we chat about:

• The “Jerry Maguire” moment in his own career, when leadership become critical
• The importance of managing the boundaries
• Why deciding who matters is one of the secrets to “being whole”

You can learn more about Stew and his work at www.TotalLeadership.org.
