In this episode of the CivilTalk podcast, we had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Dr. Richard Boyatzis — one of the most influential voices in emotional intelligence and leadership.
We talked about what it really takes to lead with heart and self-awareness, how real change happens (and sticks), and why emotional intelligence is still the most powerful leadership skill in today’s world.
Dr. Boyatzis is the co-author of the classic book Primal Leadership (with Daniel Goleman and Annie McKee), and author of The Science of Change, which dives into the neuroscience of personal and organizational transformation.
