Welcome to Episode 89 of Building My Legacy.

In this podcast, executive leadership coach and consultant Pasquale Mazzuca talks about leadership, the importance of human capital, and the need to prepare our leaders differently. Pasquale believes that the leadership paradigm needs to shift because “people are unhappy with the world that we’ve created.” He echoes the philosophy of a CEO who described himself as the “CTO” – or chief trouble officer. Pasquale sees himself as a CTO, too, because he often causes trouble by representing a different way of thinking and a different mindset.

Our discussion with Pasquale on how we need to be more effective interacting with others is particularly relevant as more employees work remotely because of the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. If you’re managing employees working from home or in a hybrid setting, this podcast has valuable information to help your team become more engaged and more productive and to help you build your legacy.

So if you want to know:

  • The three most important things managers can do to put a new kind of leadership in place
  • Why influencing without authority is such an important executive skill
  • How COVID-19 has accelerated workplace change
  • What the most successful leadership teams have in common
  • How the work of consultants is starting to shift
