Dr. David Day on Learning to be a Leader

Happy New Year to all of our listeners. 

In Episode 41, our Director Francesco Pisano speaks with Dr. David Day, Professor of Psychology at Claremont McKenna College and Academic Director of the Kravis Leadership Institute.

Are leaders born or made? What defines a leader, and how is the concept of leadership evolving as we question the type of leaders we need to meet our global challenges? As we make our way through the COVID-19 pandemic, what can we learn about being a leader? Dr. David Day, a leadership specialist, speaks on the need for three-dimensional leaders, the difference between leader development and leadership development, and looks to the future and what the next generation of leaders might look like. 

In a time where creative, collaborative, and courageous leadership is essential, Dr. David Day encourages us all to be leaders – in any capacity in which we serve.
