How to Inspire the People Around You

This podcast interviews Adam Galinsky, author of "Inspire," about his research on leadership and inspiration. The interview explores three universal factors of inspiring leadership: visionary (meaning & understanding), exemplar (protection & passion), and mentorship (belonging & respect), emphasizing that these qualities are learned, not innate. Galinsky provides practical advice, such as delaying criticism after presentations to prioritize praise, using catchphrases to maintain vision, and practicing "downward learning" to improve mentorship. Listeners gain actionable strategies to become more inspiring leaders in various life contexts, improving both their own well-being and the performance of those they influence.
