Jeffrey is also a clinical instructor in psychology at Harvard Medical School and an adjunct professor of leadership at New York University. His latest book is called Flex: The Art and Science of Leadership in a Changing World. In this episode, I talk to Jeffrey Hull about the new landscape of leadership. The world is changing, and alpha leadership is not the only way to manage a team. Jeffrey highlights the importance of beta leadership, a style that values emotion and collaboration. According to him, the most effective leaders know which style to lead with, depending on the situation. In addition to learning other ways of being, Jeffrey believes we need to leverage perspectives from the indigenous and neurodiverse communities. We also touch on the topics of emotional intelligence, coaching, creativity, and authenticity.Website: www.jeffreyhull.comTwitter: @JeffreyHullPhDTopics02:18 The beta boss09:07 Inclusivity in all ways12:50 Flexible communication18:29 Emotional intelligence and vulnerability25:48 Physical energy of being28:27 Engagement: productivity or creativity30:35 Collaboration occurs in safe spaces33:01 Self-coaching37:49 The future of coaching43:46  We all have unique gifts46:40 Dialogue, not disagreement49:08 Age of convergence
