My guest today, on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots free podcast interview is seasoned consultant with more than 25 years of experience working with CEOs and senior executives of organizations ranging from Fortune 50s to start-ups in pursuit of transformational change.
His consulting has taken him to more than 20 different countries on four continents, and he has consulted to some of the world’s most influential CEOs and executives on issues ranging from strategy to organization to leadership.
And this interest in leadership and more importantly the struggles that leaders encountered a ten year longitudinal study on executive transition to find out why more than 50% of leaders fail within their first 18 months of appointment.
