This episode of The Leader in You Podcast marks the third anniversary of the book Emotional Connection: The EmC Strategy. Co-authors Dr. Lola Gershfeld and Ramin Sedehi discuss the profound role emotional connection plays in effective leadership.

Ramin reflects on his personal journey to becoming a visionary leader and his partnership with EmC, emphasizing that leadership is more about being in service to others and seeing the unseen rather than acquiring it off the shelf.

Lola shares her motivations for co-authoring the book, which arose from her experiences with miscommunication and conflict in the workplace. She describes her realization that emotional connection can prevent isolation and conflict, likening the importance of secure relationships in the workplace to family dynamics.
