As a leader, how do you know where to focus? When there are a hundred possibilities, how do you direct your time, your team, your budget, your emotional energy? And - how do you step back and consider the longer term? How do you set conditions for the business to create value not just now, but for years and decades? How do you dance the tension between creating economic value now, while also serving a noble purpose?

If you wonder about these things, then this podcast is for you.

You’ll hear from growth mindset leaders how to create enormous economic value while also creating deep, durable impact. Discover their tips, tricks, habits and mindsets for holding the paradox of leadership - navigating the tug between short term demands and long term aspirations.
