SPOS #751 – Dan Pontefract On Becoming A Leader Who Matters

Welcome to episode #751 of Six Pixels of Separation.

Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation – Episode #751 – Host: Mitch Joel. I have been a fan of Dan Pontefract for many years. We first met when he was working at the national Canadian telecommunications and media company, TELUS, as their Chief Envisioner and Chief Learning Officer. Dan has always been more than that. Now, he’s a leadership strategist, keynote speaker, and bestselling author. His books are: Open To Think, The Purpose Effect, Flat Army, and his latest: Lead. Care. Win. Dan’s work is focused on making leaders better, and with that it’s a mission to change the world of work. His latest thinking will help you become a more caring and engaging leader, one that will fully (and completely) understand the critical importance of crafting meaningful, respectful relationships among all your stakeholders. The bottom line is that when you care enough to champion others, the workplace becomes happily infectious and the organization benefits in more ways than one. It’s time to care (now, more than ever). Full potential is possible. Enjoy the conversation…
