Adam Galinsky: Unlocking the formula to inspiring leadership
Thursday, 20 February, 2025
Adam Galinsky is a social psychologist and a Professor of Leadership and Ethics at Columbia Business School. He has published over two hundred scientific articles on leadership, negotiations, diversity, and ethics. He has been a damages expert in numerous defamation lawsuits that have generated more than $1 billion in verdicts and settlements, including Dominion Voting Systems v. Fox News. His latest book is titled: Inspire: The Universal Path for Leading Yourself and Others. Some interesting insights from this episode: · The leader amplification effect suggests that when we’re in a position of leadership, all of our words and expressions get amplified, both the positive and negative ones. · There are three universal factors to inspiring leadership: being a visionary, being an exemplar, and being a mentor. · Inspiring and infuriating leaders are mirror images of each other and exist on opposite ends of a continuum so based on the situation an inspiring leader one day can become an infuriating one the next. · Leaders are made, not born, and anyone has the tools to become more inspiring no matter their starting point. · The Great Resignation, where 30 million Americans quit their jobs during the pandemic, wasn’t just about where we work but why we work. This “universal midlife crisis” was less about pay and much more about meaning and purpose and empowerment. · You can learn how to become more visionary by conveying an optimistic vision, keeping your message simple, and creating rich imagery. · “Excellence is getting better at whatever you do on a day to day process.” Notes Book: Inspire: The Universal Path for Leading Yourself and Others Personal website: Adam Galinsky
