Introduction

 In our uncertain economic environment, executives across financial services, technology and healthcare are asking themselves the question 'what’s next for me?'  Many people are feeling stifled in their jobs, and many others are either unemployed or underemployed.  In this episode of The Leaders' Perspective Podcast we chat with Kathy Boden Holland, a brilliant and inspiring leader who has worked in a variety of industries including financial services, education and consumer products - in roles ranging from strategy and private equity to business leadership to risk – and we learn how she leverages her network and her skills as a driver to own her unique career path. 

Many employees, managers, and even leaders are disconnected from who their customers are and how they live their lives.  What if you infused a passion for the customer – and an understanding of the customer – into your business?  A triple threat leader will ensure that customers are served with intelligent solutions that are designed for them, and that do right by the customer, the company, the employees, and society as a whole.  In this episode we discuss customer centricity with Ken Rees, innovator, founder, and customer advocate about how he infuses customer centricity into the culture at his companies.

The very best leaders are selfless – they care about helping others, both at work and in society.  These leaders of consequence define their own social legacy – something that leaves the world a little bit better.  In this episode we chat with McCann China CEO Emily Chang about her social legacy, her book The Spare Room, and how having a social legacy makes you a better leader inside and outside of the boardroom.
