213 The One Where We Quantify Leadership Effectiveness
For those long-time listeners, you know that I am passionate about personal and professional development and leadership strategies, which is why I couldn\u2019t wait to share this interview with you!
My guest today is Bill Eckstrom, he is the founder and CEO of EcSell Institute, the world\u2019s first and only organization to measure and quantify leadership effectiveness. He is considered one of the world\u2019s top authorities in metric-based performance coaching and growth. His book, The Coaching Effect, coauthored by EcSell Institute president Sarah Wirth, helps leaders at all levels understand the necessity of challenging people out of their comfort zone to create high-growth organizations.
Bill\u2019s primary passion is growth. He is an expert in change management and discomfort, as made popular in his viral TEDx Talk \u201cWhy Comfort Will Ruin Your Life.\u201d As a keynote speaker, Bill has presented to hundreds of groups and is a popular guest on podcasts and shows around the world.
