Leadership requires care. Care that extends to the people around you, for whom leaders are responsible. But also care for the practice of leadership itself.
Ideas about this extend back to Plato, who engaged in many conversations about the responsibilities of leaders, the dangers of too much power, and considering the good of others.
Princeton professor Melissa Lane, whose book Of Rule and Office: Platoâs Ideas of the Political, joins us to explore the impact of Plato's ideas today, as we struggle with concepts of accountability and servant leadership.

Life is filled with busyness. When something or someone comes along to smooth the way and make life a little easier, weâre more than willing to give them our attention and our money.
In an attention-starved world, we look for people who make it easier for us to consume information and make decisions.
Pay attention to these curators. They care.

Often in our careers, weâre focused on our destinations â the job title, the salary, the external symbols that notch our success, and the associated reputational wealth in the eyes of those who see us.
Weâre fixated on being when we should be intent on becoming. What are we doing, enjoying, and sharing that inform who we are?
Whether itâs personal or professional, learning is the key to our growth. And in this episode, thereâs a short letter I reread to help remind me about the power of growth.

This is the second in our four-part series on core leadership skills.
In 1831 Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote âIt is a luxury to be understood,â and it is still a luxury in the modern day. Perhaps even more so, given the number of modes of communication and fractured attention.
Communication is at the very core of your leadership. Without it, you have nothing. Which is why working on your communication skills is so important.

Dr. Marshall Goldsmith has worked with hundreds of very high achievers throughout his career as an executive coach. And in doing so, he noticed something: happiness does not come from achievement.
So he wrote his latest book, The Earned Life, to address that. It will start you on a fresh journey that goes beyond your last achievement and helps you minimize your regrets, allowing you to live the life you were meant to live.
We are living an earned life when the choices, risks, and effort we make in each moment align with an overarching purpose in our lives, regardless of the eventual outcome.

Join us as we embark on a four-part series on core leadership skills.
Inscribed on the Temple of Apollo in the 5th century B.C., the phrase âKnow thyselfâ is considered a universal truth. So itâs appropriate that the first leadership skill weâre exploring is self-awareness.
Too many leaders are tone-deaf or ego-driven to be self-aware. And yet, itâs probably the single most important leadership skill, as it makes it possible for other skills to grow.

Built on the idea that your level of success rarely exceeds your level of personal development, it provides a three-part formula to make lasting change: personal development, business strategies, and daily habits.
Jeffrey provides practical and easily implementable ideas to help you grow, find what works, and keep it going.

When weâre busy with [waves hands around] life, we can miss out on things that are essential for us to see. Or not see, as the case may be.
Who we are is reflected in how we show up (or donât) and what we choose to say (or not). Those things that arenât seen can send some of the most powerful messages.
And we can learn a lot about other people by paying attention to those details.

Leaders, by their very nature, tend to see things differently than other people. One of the terms weâre hearing more about, particularly in the workplace, is neurodiversity.
And Peter Shankman is helping companies understand what that means and how they can benefit from it, through his speaking, his books Faster Than Normal and The Boy with the Faster Brain , and his podcast Faster Than Normal.
He joins Timeless Leadership to share some of his observations about living with ADHD and how thereâs hope for everyone â particularly children â to live productively and unselfconsciously with this superpower.

It isnât often you'll see a marketer who champions journalism.
Lou Paskalis is passionate concept of brand safety and suitability is now more necessary than ever, as brands need to protect themselves from adjacency to questionable content, platforms, and values â in all forms of media.
One of the greatest concerns of every CEO is reputational risk and in order to guard against this, they need their marketing and communications teams working together.
We touch on the third rail of ESG and DEI, as well as the waning industry of local journalism, discuss the roles that businesses might play for the sake of society, and talk about businessesâ triple bottom line (return, retention, reputation).
And we conclude with Louâs forecast for the future of the advertising industry: one that includes addressability, quality, and a technical revolution driven by AI.
