The Global Leadership Hypothesis. What makes a great leader?
Have you ever wondered what makes a great leader? We all have ideas and hypotheses about what it takes to be a truly exceptional leader. But have you ever stopped to consider what the common thread might be among the most successful leaders across various industries and sectors? That's precisely what we did. We went on a mission to uncover the key traits and characteristics that set the best leaders apart. We interviewed CEOs, Chairman of Boards, finance professionals, influencers, thought leaders, leadership consultants, and many more to understand what it truly takes to be a great leader. Join us as we reveal the common thread that connects the most successful leaders in today's rapidly evolving business landscape.
