Today's leaders shape the context in which their organizations can thrive. In a new episode of Scott J. Allen, Ph.D. “Practical Wisdom for Leaders” podcast, Amy Elizabeth Fox, Co-Founder and CEO of @Mobius Executive Leadership, shares that leaders themselves are the most powerful lever for organizational transformation. Amy also sheds light on her understanding of the deep roots of derailers which, when addressed, can help leaders embark on a new journey, both personally and professionally.   The podcast also focuses on the importance of asking quality questions and being intentional about self-care. The latter ensures that leaders stay in "performance-ready" shape, ready to tackle the overwhelming challenges of the future.   Egon Zehnder has partnered with Mobius to deliver a series of invitation-only Executive Breakthrough Programs and Executive Discovery Programs that offer a unique and powerful approach to developing your most senior leaders.
