Improving Your Leadership Intelligence with Caroline Webb

How can leaders make smarter decisions, motivate people, and stay effective when things get difficult? Kevin is joined by Caroline Webb to explore three dimensions of leadership intelligence: deliberate wisdom, intrinsic inspiration, and reasoned resilience. She explains why better decisions begin with intentionally widening your perspective while reducing cognitive overload, and how leaders can strengthen motivation by increasing people's sense of competence and connection. Kevin and Caroline also discuss how AI can support better thinking without replacing human judgment, empathy, and accountability that leadership still requires.
