Ryan Quinn: Using Positive Leadership to Unleash Your Employees' Potential

So far In this podcast, our episodes have featured experienced leaders reflecting on how they leave their employees better than they found them.  Today we shift gears a bit, and learn from a leading academic in the field of management, Dr. Ryan Quinn, Associate Professor of Management at the University of Louisville.  Ryan is the co-author of the book Lift: The fundamental State of Leadership and numerous journal articles including his Harvard Business Review article, "Why You Shouldn't Label People Low Performers".  In our conversation, Ryan draws on current research to provide tips for managers on topics such as:  
The importance of a growth mindset for leaders and how to foster it.

• Why it's important to not label our employees, and some advice for those whose company's performance management systems ask them to label employees as part of their talent review process.
• How leaders can work backwards from virtues, such as courage, love, and forgiveness, to transform their leadership effectiveness.
