312: Change Leadership and Change the World

Bob Vanourek was a Young Turk, an MBA from the top of his class at Harvard Business School, flying all over the U.S., firing people for a living. "Frankly, it was turning my stomach," he recalls. He was dashing to meet his wife and two young children for Christmas in Chicago when he couldn't ignore his inner voice any longer. He quit his job at the hot IPO and set out on a life-long quest to create better models of leadership. Now an award-winning author and popular speaker on ethical leadership, his latest book is "Leadership Wisdom: Lessons from Poetry, Prose, and Curious Verse."
