Jim Kouzes On The 5 Practices Of Exemplary Leadership - a podcast by Tanveer Naseer

Next month marks the 10th year that I’ve been doing my podcast “Leadership Biz Cafe”, something that I started as an excuse to talk with some fascinating people about leadership and which has since become one of the most popular leadership podcasts out there.



Although I didn’t make any plans to celebrate this milestone, I’m delighted that I’ve been able to welcome such incredible guests as Tom Peters and now with this episode, another one of my leadership heroes, Jim Kouzes.Jim is the Dean’s Executive Fellow of Leadership at the Leavey School of Business at Santa Clara University. But what I’m sure many of you probably know him for is the 30-plus books he’s co-written on leadership, including the international bestseller “The Leadership Challenge”.



For this episode, I’ve invited Jim to join me to talk about his latest book, “Everyday People, Extraordinary Leadership: How To Make A Difference Regardless of Your Title, Role, or Authority”.Over the course of this episode, some of the topics Jim and I discuss include:



How leaders can avoid losing credibility by claiming they stand for one value, but then do something that goes against that stated value.What behaviours leaders need to tap into to get their employees to buy-in to their vision for their organization, and encourage them to take an active role in.How to take the lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic to encourage more experimentation and taking risks in order to evolve and grow.How leaders without any formal title can help empower their colleagues to bring their best efforts.Why it’s vital for leaders to instill a sense of community and belonging if they are to attract and retain employees.It’s truly an honour to be able to speak with such an esteemed thought leader in the leadership space about something we both care deeply about. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
