Beautiful Leadership: Integrity, Empathy, Ethics & Leading Under Pressure | AEM #154 Dawn Stallwood | Piers Cross
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of An Evolving Man, I speak with Dawn Stallwood — corporate and commercial lawyer turned leadership counsel, chief integrity officer, entrepreneur, and author of Beautiful Leadership.
Dawn brings nearly three decades of experience advising boards, founders and senior leaders, and in this conversation we explore what it really means to lead with integrity, empathy, humility and courage in times of pressure, uncertainty and change.
We speak about:
- the difference between command-and-control leadership and human-centred leadership
- why so many leaders have never been properly trained
- the importance of self-awareness, transparency and emotional intelligence
- how to build capacity rather than simply drive harder
- what pressure reveals in leaders
- why AI will make human leadership skills even more important
- how leaders can create cultures people genuinely want to be part of
Dawn also shares the framework behind her book Beautiful Leadership, including the inner qualities and outer practices that help leaders become more transformative, trustworthy and effective.
This is a thoughtful and practical conversation for anyone interested in leadership, culture, ethics, governance, emotional intelligence, and the future of work.
