What a treat! Seth Godin returns, this time to talk about leadership in his new book The Song of Significance: A New Manifesto for Teams (Portfolio).

Seth talks about leadership vs. management and also how we develop leadership like a muscle. There’s a tension when someone wants to lead, but maybe doesn’t know how for fear of failure, fear of rocking the status quo, fear of judgement. Seth makes the impossible feel possible. It was a thrill and honor to spend some time with this wonderful person.

Seth is the author of too many books to count like The Dip, The Practice, This is Marketing, and Purple Cow. You also know him from is incredible daily blog and his exceptional podcast, Akimbo. He also spearheaded The Carbon Almanac: It’s Not Too Late.
