Leadership Conversations – A Series of Interviews About Leadership and More
Leadership Conversations, as suggested by the subtitle, is comprised of a series of interviews on the topic of effective leadership by Anthony T. Eaton. The series consists of ‘conversations’/interviews with men in various industries, each of whom has a diverse set of experiences and leadership roles. The conversational nature of the books helps one to understand the importance of several things, first and foremost the fact that leaders arise in a variety of contexts and have diverse histories and philosophies on life, business, and leadership.
Some key themes run through these conversations, and they are important to note from the start: the importance of a skill set, compassion, empathy, courage, advocacy, emotional intelligence, inspiration, service, relationships, listening to people, and the need to challenge oneself and learn continually.
In summary, this book focuses on perspectives of men with diverse work-life leadership experiences. Despite these differences, it is clear that there are some basic themes each identifies as being at the foundation of leadership. Authenticity, mindfulness, listening, service, and helping others are just a few of the things that enhance the ability to lead.
