Inspiring as a Leader with Adam Galinsky

Leader and manager development was CHROs’ top priority in 2025,
according to the 2025 Gartner HR Priorities Survey. When
employees are frustrated by the leadership at the organization,
their engagement, performance and productivity suffer. Adam
Galinsky, professor at Columbia Business School and author of
"Inspire: The Universal Path for Leading Yourself and Others,”
joins the Talent Angle to share research on what makes leaders
inspiring, rather than infuriating, and how organizations can
adapt their leadership development strategies to nurture
inspiration at scale.
