… Leadership Agility with Bill Joiner and Steve Josephs

Russ: Welcome, Bill and Steve. I would like to congratulate you because in October you will have the first integrally informed leadership book to be published by a major publisher in the world. Is that your understanding, too?

Bob Anderson has been a leader in the development of integral approaches to developing leaders.
