Stewart Friedman, Total Leadership

Be real.

Be whole.

Be innovative.

That’s the essence of Total Leadership, and Stewart 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 years 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 interview, Stewart and I chat about:

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