Episode Description
No organizational leaders can succeed in today’s fast evolving and highly connected world on their own. Through a project funded by the Fetzer Institute, Dr. Carol Pearson spent three years exploring what transforming leadership means with thought leaders from many fields. The resulting book "The Transforming Leader: New Approaches to Leadership for the Twenty-First Century", draws on psychology, sociology, neuroscience, social networking theory, organizational change theory, myths, traditions and actual experiences to discover how leaders today achieve transformational results. Join Host Kate Ebner and Dr. Pearson to learn what today’s leaders must know to succeed in a complex world. This show will reframe the challenge of leading and offer an overview of what transformational leadership is, how it works, and how it is evolving.

Georgetown ITL Faculty
The faculty of the Institute for Transformational Leadership at Georgetown University are multifaceted and diverse with respect to academic training, practical experience, expertise, and research interests. Perhaps the most striking aspect of the faculty is the community they have cultivated and the dialog they have advanced around leadership development and leadership coaching. Most of the original faculty members – those who helped establish Georgetown University’s leadership coaching program in 2000 – still teach and provide direction for leadership coaches and executive leaders, while new perspectives continue to evolve and inform our programs.
At the Institute for Transformational Leadership at Georgetown University, the faculty are exploring new transformative models of leadership, work, and change that can transform individuals, organizations, communities, governments and the global society.
