Read: Inspire or Infuriate? The Science of Leadership That Lifts or Drains
Published on 29 Apr 2026
Why do some leaders leave you energised - while others quietly exhaust you?
Michelle Martin sits down with Columbia University's Adam Galinsky, author of INSPIRE (The Universal Path for Leading Yourself and Others), to unpack the psychology behind leadership that truly moves people.
Drawing on three decades of research, Galinsky explains why inspiration isn’t a personality trait - but a set of behaviours we can all learn.
From Visionary to Exemplar to Mentor, discover the three roles that define leaders who elevate others.
We explore how these ideas play out not just in boardrooms - but in families, and everyday life.
