Caroline Webb on the Leadership Skills AI Can’t Replace

I'm Rufus Griskom and this is the next big idea. Today. The science of leadership. I have a mild allergy to leadership books.

It's not that I don't think the subject matters. Having founded and run four companies, I know how vital it is to become a nimble manager. Not that I've always pulled it off. The problem is that so many books in the leadership genre are written by would-be gurus who've never led so much as a little league team. Or else they're banglorious memoirs disguised as big idea books. Most of the time they're thin on evidence and long on anecdote.

Caroline Webb. doesn't do that. For her new book, Leadership Intelligence, which comes out next month, she went deep into the latest science, psychology, neuroscience, behavioral economics, and surfaced with tools you can actually use in a Monday morning all hands. We get into it in this conversation. How to make better decisions, how to build camaraderie on a team.

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript, segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.

10 free credits is 10 episodes like this one a month. Episodes nobody has transcribed yet cost their length in hours, because we have to actually transcribe them.
