Creating meaningful connection is a leadership responsibility
There’s no going back to the old ways or days for leadership coach Phillip Ralph - in fact he’s impatient for the changes we need to see that will spearhead the future of leadership. For Phillip that progress includes embedding emotional intelligence early and broadly in organisations - no more waiting until someone is in a leadership position before they are developed. It means leadership from anyone, anywhere - empowering people to take action where they are, to nudge the system instead of trying to dismantle it overnight. Phillip shares his leadership perspective on where we are going wrong, how not every problem needs a solution, the simple power of human connection and his ultimate vision for the future - organisations that are as smart as the people in them!
