We are the antidote! You're not alone. Hearing role models overcome the same feelings to enjoy acting on their values creates meaning, purpose, community, and emotional reward. Want to improve as a leader? Bestselling author, 3-time TEDx speaker, leadership speaker, coach, and professor Joshua Spodek, PhD, MBA, brings joy and inspiration to acting on the environment. You'll learn to lead without relying on authority. We bring you leaders from many areas — business, politics, sports, arts, education, and more — to share their expertise for you to learn from. We then ask them to share and act on their environmental values. That's leadership without authority — so they act for their reasons, not out of guilt, blame, doom, gloom, or someone telling them what to do. Guests include: Dan Pink , 40+ million TED Talk views Marshall Goldsmith , #1-ranked leadership guru and author Frances Hesselbein , Presidential Medal of Freedom honoree, former CEO of the Girl Scouts Elizabeth Kolbert , Pulitzer Prize-winni…","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/this-sustainable-life-924670"},"episode":{"title":"829: Adam Galinsky, part 1: Do you love being inspired?

Regular listeners know I consider leadership the most important missing element in sustainability. To change the environmental effects we're barreling into, we have to change the causes, which are our behavior, which result from culture. Changing culture requires leadership, not just management. Effective leadership inspires. Adam's latest book is  Inspire . You can imagine my enthusiasm to talk with a star professor at one of the world's top institutions (to which I'm deeply connected) teaching leadership on the topic of how to inspire and become an inspirational person and leader. We begin by talking about his background, how he began working in psychology, then moved to teaching at a business school, and the rewards he found there. Of all the departments and schools in a university, I believe business schools' leadership departments provide the most useful and effective tools and people to solve our environmental situation. In other words, if you are interested in solving our environmental problems, you can learn from Adam. We mostly talk about his book,  Inspire , and how to put it into practice.
