What helps a leader bring out the best in the people they lead? In this introductory episode of The Influential Leader, Michael Diettrich-Chastain shares how his work in psychology, mental health, and organizational leadership led him to that question. He explains why he started the podcast and introduces the idea he wants to explore with future guests: that influence may begin with the questions we ask ourselves and others. Michael also considers why asking thoughtful questions could matter even more as AI makes information easier to access.
