The unexpected world of business is a podcast series by Henley Business School that explores topics you wouldn’t normally associate with business.
In this podcast, we ask the question: Is self-awareness the key to effective leadership?
Dr Chris Dalton, Associate Professor of Management Learning and Leadership at Henley Business School, joins host Naeema Pasha to explore the world of personal development at work, with tips from Chris’ Manifesto of Wisdom in Learning, a discussion of awareness and humility, and the importance of listening to your team.
Chris is Associate Professor of Management Learning and Subject Area Leader for Personal Development at Henley.
A dynamic and creative tutor and facilitator, Chris joined Henley in November 2005 and was the Programme Director for Henley Distance Learning MBA (Flexible Learning) until 2010, when he took over the Personal Development role.
