TKP Insights: Leadership [The Knowledge Project Ep. #160]

Essential segments from five guests revolving around one theme: leadership.

This episode helps put a unique definition on leadership and examines whether or not good leaders are context-dependent, the differences between a great leader and an average leader, how great leaders should balance feedback, the difference between being right and doing right, a playbook for managing teams, and the importance of radical candor.
