Visionary Leaders Circle

In this episode of The Dr. Ginny Show, Dr. Ginny Baro sits down with Aleta Maxwell, leadership coach and best selling author of Uplifting Leaders, to explore what quietly slows leaders and teams down, even when performance looks fine on the surface. Their conversation focuses on how blind spots form as roles grow, why leadership development cannot be treated as interchangeable, and how trust, feedback, and decision making shift when leaders build deeper self awareness. Together, they name what many senior leaders sense but struggle to articulate, and why ignoring it comes at a real cost. This episode is for leaders and organizations navigating pressure, complexity, and rising expectations, and asking whether their current leadership development approach is truly fit for the level of work required. What listeners gain from this conversation: 💡 Clarity on the real consequence of neglecting leadership development 💡 A practical understanding of how the Enneagram builds self-awareness and trust 💡 Perspective on why feedback breaks down and how to improve it Grounded, honest, and practical, this conversation invites leaders to see what they may have been missing, and consider what becomes possible when they do.
