    Leading to Thrive with Klaus Kleinfeld
    Sep 17 2025
    What do you need to run your life successfully? In this episode, Kevin talks with Dr. Klaus Kleinfeld about how leaders can master both the “inner game” and the “outer game” of leadership. Klaus explains why sustainable success starts with managing your energy—physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually—and how purpose acts like a laser to focus that energy on what matters most. He also discusses how discipline alone isn't enough, why removing negative cues from your environment can help conserve energy, and how leaders can choose their emotional responses to prevent unnecessary energy drains. Klaus' Story: Dr. Klaus Kleinfeld is the author of Leading to Thrive: Mastering Strategies for Sustainable Success in Business and Life. He is the only leader to have successfully served as CEO of two Fortune 500 giants on different continents: Alcoa in the US and Siemens in Germany. With a nearly forty-year career spanning multiple industries, from established businesses to tech startups, he has advised US presidents and global leaders across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. As the founder of K2Elevation, he invests in North American and European tech and biotech firms. Actively engaged in private sector, public affairs, and cultural boards, Dr. Kleinfeld, a dual US and European citizen, enjoys work, life, and family near New York. https://www.leading-to-thrive.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/klauskleinfeld/ This Episode is brought to you by...
