in conversation with Peter Koestenbaum

Peter Koestenbaum and Joe Lafferty in Conversation

This video (link here) is from a conversation between Peter Koestenbaum and Joe Lafferty in Dallas Texas in November 2011. Peter, a former Professor in Philosophy, became a leadership educator and executive coach some 15+ years ago, seeking to apply his learning and ideas ‘Philosophy in Business’ practically to help leaders at all levels enhance their capacity to lead. He has worked with leaders and organisations across the globe. This video gives a 10 minute ‘flavour’ of the Leadership Diamond™

If you would like any further information on how you can apply the Leadership Diamond™, to transform your leadership, please contact Peter here, or Joe here.

Most folks just accept this and don’t inquire on this question. I encourage them to ask their Boss: ‘OK, I understand that you think I need to be more strategic. Could you help me understand that that is and what it looks like from your perspective?’
