In this episode, Professor Darius Pfitzner, Academic Dean at the Australian Institute of Business, shares lessons from his extraordinary career journey, from Navy aircraft engineer to leading business academic, highlighting the value of failure, humility, and customer focus.
We then turn to Emotional Intelligence Specialist Amy Jacobson, who explains how EQ can transform teams and offers five practical steps to build a more empathetic, accountable, and high-performing workplace. Together, they reveal why great leadership is both learned and deeply human.
