Are you ready to become a more flexible and effective leader in today’s complex world?

In this episode of the Happier at Work podcast, Aoife O’Brien sits down with renowned leadership expert Kevin Eikenberry to discuss the secrets behind truly impactful leadership. Drawing on decades of experience, including working with leaders from over 50 countries and authoring numerous books, Kevin delves into the core ideas from his latest and most significant work yet: "Flexible Leadership." Together, they explore what defines great leadership, the biggest barriers holding leaders back, and how adaptability can make all the difference in reaching goals through others.

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

  1. Why leadership means achieving valuable outcomes with and through others, not just doing the work yourself.
  2. How true change comes from aligning mindset, building relevant skills, and forming sustainable habits.
  3. That happiness is a choice. Embrace your power to choose positivity and growth, even in challenging situations.
  4. How to own your confidence, and why it comes from navigating uncertainty with openness, not from having perfect knowledge.
