What interests you the most about the potential for Leadership and Flourishing?
There is no question of the intrinsic worth of flourishing, but what is really exciting is that when leaders empower people to flourish you also see significant performance gains. I am most interested in how leaders at all levels create the culture and practices that enable everyone to flourish and also how to have a positive impact on flourishing beyond their organisations
What are you most excited about working on?
At the moment I am particularly interested in the role of love in leadership as this seems to be a key pathway to flourishing
