Why Leaders Need to Continuously Update Their Leadership Toolkit

EPISODE OVERVIEW Mike Useem explains why leadership matters most when uncertainty is high and why what worked in the past may no longer be enough. He discusses how leaders can build new skills by observing others, getting out of their offices, and learning from people who think and operate differently. He shares examples of executives who stepped outside their organizations to better understand innovation and change. He also talks about how leadership increasingly comes from all levels, not just the top. He emphasizes learning, reflection, and drawing ideas upward from within organizations.
