This finale of Season 1 prompts hosts Kathy Edersheim and Mike Madison to tie together three central themes woven through all of Your Leadership Podcast so far: how great leaders rely on moral and ethical frameworks, how leaders (and followers) understand and build on context, and the key role that team-first perspectives play in organizations with thriving leaders.

Hosts Kathy Edersheim and Mike Madison dig into themes in a new book by Columbia University Business School professor Adam Galinsky, titled "Inspire: the Universal Path for Leading Yourself and Others." They work from a recent Harvard Business Review article from Professor Galinsky that summarizes its key points: inspiring leaders distinguish themselves by playing three key roles: visionary, exemplar, and mentor. The conversation finds some surprising connections between Professor Galinsky's findings and the themes of "Your Leadership Podcast."

Hosts Kathy Edersheim and Mike Madison tackle a key element of leadership in context. What's expected of a leader who steps into that role in an organization or community that already has an established history and culture? How does that differ from tackling leadership when starting fresh, building and leading from the ground up?

The case study for the conversation: religion and religious practices, both old and new.
