coaching is not about having power over other people and being directive or advisory.

It's really about creating more of a sense of equality, right? And so asking questions and

Although, and welcome to the Psychology podcast, today I'm happy to welcome Jeffrey

Cole to the show. Jeffrey is a highly sought after facilitator keynote speaker and executive coach

to both nonprofit and for-profit global organizations. He's the executive director of the

Institute of Coaching, based at McLean Hospital. 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 talked to Jeffrey Hall about the new landscape of leadership.

The world is changing and alpha leadership is not the only way to manage a team.

Jeffrey highlights importance of beta leadership, a style that values emotion and collaboration.

According to Jeffrey, 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.

This is a really great chat with my friend who was really leading the way in the coaching world.

He is very sensitive, compassionate, and very forward-looking.

So without further ado, I am pleased to bring you Jeffrey Hold.
