from HOW Conversations · host The HOW Institute for Society featuring hosts Dov Seidman and Dana H. Born

[Archive Interview from Jun 24, 2024]Dr. Wayne Frederick is known as a decorated surgeon and former university president, but now showcases his talent for storytelling. Blending beautiful memories of growing up in Trinidad with navigating the complex world of leadership, Dr. Frederick has a flair for using past experiences to get better each day. Dr. Frederick suggests, “Every day when you get home, you should ask yourself two questions. What did I do today and how well did I do it? How much better can I do tomorrow? And the second question should be, what didn't I do today that I should be sure to do tomorrow?” This week on HOW Conversations, Dr. Frederick spoke with Dana Born, Distinguished Fellow at The HOW Institute, about integrating formal authority with moral authority, freedom to bring your authentic self to the workplace, and so much more.  READY TO START YOUR MORAL LEADERSHIP JOURNEY? Moral leadership is more imperative today than ever before. The HOW Institute for Society was founded on the belief that those in positions of formal authority should also have moral authority.  We are creating the tools leaders need to make principled, ethical and values-based decisions.  We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to building a world rooted in deep human values and trust in our social fabric. The Institute channels philosophical reasoning to address modern problems. Today, HOW we do what we do matters more than ever and in ways it never has before.  Learn more at https://thehowinstitute.org/
