HOW Conversations

Author: The HOW Institute for Society featuring hosts Dov Seidman and Dana H. Born

Moral leaders enable people to contribute their fullest talent, realize their deepest humanity, and do the next right things. Above all, moral leadership is about how leaders touch hearts, not just minds. HOW Conversations highlights moral leadership in action and the positive results--across all levels of society--when those in leadership positions are moral leaders. In each episode, a host from the HOW Institute talks with a remarkable leader about their personal experiences and how they use their leadership framework to guide their thinking. HOW Conversations is an opportunity for listeners to pause and reflect on these experiences and learnings.

She opens up about: -Building trust by giving it first -Why real leadership happens in micro-moments -Navigating the conflict between efficiency and effectiveness -The role of truth in creating movements that lead to lasting change -How hope is not only a strategy but an imperative This conversation is a masterclass in moral leadership, vulnerability, and what it looks like to stay human while leading at the highest levels.
