Leadership Development and the Importance of Organizational Happiness

The behavior of leaders in any organization is learned and passed down from team to team. With 89% of managers having no formal leadership training, today’s episode is an important conversation on learning what being a good leader looks like. Elaine Gosden, CEO of Blue Gnu Consulting, joins me from England to discuss leadership development and creating happier workplaces. Elaine outlines her company's approach, which focuses on learning and development initiatives to equip leaders and teams with the necessary skills. She explains tools like Insights Discovery and Motivational Maps to help understand organizational behaviors and motivations. Elaine also touches on challenges specific to university leadership, the importance of addressing organizational silos, and the significance of constant improvement for leadership effectiveness.
