    The Dance of Leadership

    with
    Professor Bob Denhardt
    Arizona State University Regents Professor, Coor Presidential Chair, Lincoln Professor of Leadership and Ethics; Director of the School of Public Affairs
     
    Based on Professor Denhardt's book, The Dance of Leadership. the conversation focuses on the art of leadership, employing material from art, music, and especially dance to discover new ways of thinking about leadership and new ways of sharpening one’s leadership skills. A key idea explored is whether art is a metaphor for leadership or whether leadership is in fact an art.
