Description
Rethinking Leadership & Wisdom In Your Team with Kevin Fahey #112
What is true leadership — and how do we grow into it?
In this conversation, Paul sits down with Kevin Fahey, founder of The Essence of Leadership, to explore a radical but deeply human approach to leadership, culture, and emotional maturity in business.
From leadership polarities and self-awareness to peer-to-peer coaching and distributed decision-making, Kevin shares decades of lived experience — drawing on psychology, quantum mechanics, and his own journey through business and inner development.
This isn’t just a conversation about leadership — it’s about becoming whole, embracing our shadow, and trusting the wisdom in the room.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why every value (like honesty) has a hidden polarity
- How to balance sensitivity with directness as a leader
- The power of peer-to-peer coaching and collective wisdom
- What “the dreaming” is — and how themes emerge in every team
- Why emotionally mature teams make the best business decisions
- How self-awareness shapes culture, decision-making, and leadership evolution
- Why the future of leadership is distributed, not hierarchical
Quote from the Episode:
“The strongest decisions aren't about being right or wrong — they're forged in the space where two people see the world differently and choose to listen.”
