Real Leaders Podcast (Kevin Edwards)

Karen Walker is a consultant, author, and advisor to CEOs and senior leaders. She helps her clients grow their companies with successful outcomes that include IPOs, acquisitions, market share increases, and significant leadership development. Her clients include Inc. 500 start-ups and Fortune 500 firms. Her work helps senior leaders create internal strategies that support their organizations’ external growth; and she is the author of the recently published book, No Dumbing Down - A No-nonsense Guide for CEOs on Organization Growth. No Dumbing Down is a book for a company’s senior-most leaders. It teaches them how to do a job only they can do: aligning the organization’s internal and external strategies for profitable, sustainable growth. Why do leaders need this guidance? The problem is misunderstanding what it takes to grow. In this podcast Kevin discusses with Karen what she's learned in her 20+ years of leadership consulting, how to get your company in alignment, and is a leader born by nature or is it nurtured?
