Episode Description
We’ve come to expect a lot of our leaders; we can help people become better leaders by helping access new ways of thinking about leading. Deb Ancona and her colleagues at MIT have developed a model of leadership that leaders of every stripe can relate to. Join Guest Host Neil Stroul for a conversation with Deb Ancona, director of the MIT Leadership Center, for a discussion of what great leadership looks like. Drawing on her recent article in the Harvard Business Review, Deb will share the four capabilities that are essential for today’s leaders and help distribute leadership across the organization rather than having it all rest on one leader. Deb Ancona will share key distinctions about effective leadership, ideas that are being taught in the classrooms at the Institute for Transformational Leadership.

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.
