Recommendation
While living in NYC in the mid-2000s, Joanna Barsh had reached the position of senior partner at the management consulting firm McKinsey & Company. Still, she felt that something was missing. She decided to interview women leaders to find out what they had in common with one another, and how they approached business differently from their male counterparts. From that experience, Barsh created the Centered Leadership Project at McKinsey and wrote three books on the subject. In this podcast with McKinsey alumna Diane Brady, Barsh discusses how listeners can use the lessons of successful leaders to find purpose and positivity in challenging times.
