from The Scaling CEO · host Glenn Gow

In this episode, I talk with Jason Baumgarten, Global Head of the CEO and Board Practice at Spencer Stuart, about what it really takes to step into the CEO role. We discuss how to know if it’s the right time, what boards actually look for in top leaders, why self-awareness matters more than ambition, and how technology and AI are redefining what great leadership looks like today.
