We kick off Season 2 with this introduction to three key leadership themes that will occupy the season as a whole:

• succession and succession planning as critical leadership competencies;
• what we refer to as "curatorial" leadership - the idea that leaders are often "curators" of the people, values, and purposes of their organizations and groups; and
• differences and similarities between leadership in online and virtual contexts and leadership in face-to-face and other analog settings.

Inevitably, Generative AI enters the leadership picture. What do we make of the possibility of "robot" leaders?

Co-hosts Mike Madison and Kathy Edersheim devote this episode to preliminary tours of each of those topics. There are deeper dives to come, together with some incredible guests.

This finale of Season 1 prompts hosts Kathy Edersheim and Mike Madison to tie together three central themes woven through all of Your Leadership Podcast so far: how great leaders rely on moral and ethical frameworks, how leaders (and followers) understand and build on context, and the key role that team-first perspectives play in organizations with thriving leaders.
