The Business Case for Inner Leadership in the Modern Workplace

In this episode, Coach Chad explores the concept of inner leadership and its significance in today's rapidly changing workplace, heavily influenced by AI. The discussion highlights common misconceptions about leadership being merely 'soft skills' and emphasizes the necessity of self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and psychological safety. Coach Chad provides compelling statistics on work-related stress and employee disengagement, arguing that true leadership mastery starts with self-mastery. Practical steps for leaders include recognizing their own strengths and blind spots, practicing empathy, and fostering a positive work culture. The use of tools like the Enneagram is recommended for enhancing key leadership attributes such as self-knowledge, communication, and team building.
