Learning from the Leading Edge

Every news story has a lesson for leaders. The problem is: that lesson is rarely easy to see behind the attention-grabbing headlines of news outlets. That's where Greg Moran comes in. From megacorps such as Ford to small tech startups, Greg has held leadership roles in businesses of all sizes. He brings that vast experience to bear, peaking behind the curtain to see what leaders can learn from the top news stories each week. Guiding the conversation is multi-award-winning leadership author, consultant, coach, and CEO Maureen Metcalf.

Together, they help hone your leadership so you learn from the news, instead of being the news!

Leading Edge 120 is a production of the Innovative Leadership Institute. Learn more about our leadership coaching, consulting, education, and media productions at https://www.innovativeleadershipinstitute.com.
