040_ Benjamin Taylor

Benjamin Taylor, RedQuadrant founder, returns to the Swamp for an enlightening conversation on two topics:

The Problem with Adaptive Leadership

The Problem with Consulting 

I asked Benjamin to return to the podcast (listen here to Episode #021) because he has clear and strong thinking on both adaptive leadership and the world of consulting.

Adaptive leadership is a bit of a mainstay in my consulting work and since I am a consultant, it was hard to resist discussing these two juicy Medium pieces. I respect Benjamin’s deep thinking on these topics so I suspected he would bring some grounding and provocative perspectives. He did all of that and more. Enjoy his critical thinking and his experience based point of view.
