About this listen

In this episode, Dr. Gordon M. Sayre, Assistant Professor of Management at Emlyon Business School in Lyon, France, joins me to discuss his research on emotional dissonance and what happens when leaders feel one thing but must display another. We explore the difference between surface acting and deep acting in leadership, the toll emotional regulation can take on well-being, and how leaders can break the cycle of inauthentic expression. Drawing on his research featured in CNN, BBC, NPR, Forbes, and Fortune, Dr. Sayre offers practical, evidence-based insights on leading with authenticity while sustaining personal and organizational health.
