Dene Stuart is the founder of the Exceptional Leadership Academy, and the creator of the Intentional Leadership Inventory.

Looking back on his 30 years in business, firstly in management roles in corporations and then in his own businesses, Dene lamented on the numerous mistakes he had made when trying to provide leadership to his team.

After accepting that these mistakes were the result of a lack of training he embarked on his own learning journey.

In this episode of the Abeceder podcast The Independent Minds, Dene explains to host Michael Millward what he learnt on that journey and how he turned that learning into the Exceptional Leader Academy.

Dene explains that successful leaders have a leadership mindset and act with intention, and that this resulted in him creating the Intentional Leadership Inventory.
