That’s what happened when I walked through the door as part of a workshop and saw Katriin J\u00fcriska<\/strong><\/a> looking back at me with a cheerful smile. After spending a few weeks mulling over what to do about finding a co-host for the podcast \u201cLeadership Without Leadership\u201d and letting the matter just settle in the hope that the answer would come at the right time\u2014it finally did! It occurred to me later that Katriin and I have known each other for nearly 20 years, but we\u2019ve always run into each other only very sporadically and by chance. One of my first podcast experiences was appearing as a guest on her show. But all those moments and our history only came back to me after I very quickly said \u201cyes\u201d to Katriin\u2019s invitation to become her co-host that very same evening. The feeling came before the thought. And later, the idea of moving forward together made perfect sense. Every day, across three companies, Katriin puts into practice what I believe in when it comes to leadership\u2014and what I constantly share with other leaders. As a leader, she has found herself having to resolve very complex situations and has trusted her instincts\u2014even when there\u2019s no obvious logic behind them\u2014because her gut tells her that\u2019s exactly what needs to be done. <\/p>\n\n

Together with Reelika Jeferjev<\/strong><\/a>, we produced five seasons, 177 episodes, and over 55,000 listens. Thank you, Reelika, for this journey together! <\/p>\n\n

Starting with Episode 178\u2014that is, today\u2014a new chapter begins. We\u2019ll continue with the questions that keep me up at night when it comes to leadership: Why do the same problems keep recurring? What patterns are we perpetuating ourselves? And what does it take for something to truly change, to be transformed? How does everything I\u2019ve studied in my doctoral program\u2014and experienced myself as a leader\u2014play out in other people\u2019s practice? How can we use leadership to create a world that is an incredibly dynamic place where we can achieve our goals and, most importantly, grow and develop as human beings? <\/p>\n\n

See you at the listening and viewing sessions!<\/p>\n\n
