Mind-Body Leadership in the Age of AI | Marcel Daane

Episode Description from the Publisher

What if burnout isn’t something that happens to you — and what if the leadership skill you’re missing lives in your body, not your head?  In this episode of the Balancing Act podcast, Andy speaks with Marcel Daane, author of Headstrong Performance, Five Energies of Horrible Bosses and How Not To Become One, and the forthcoming Leadership Tai-Chi: The Art of Leading with Clarity, Wisdom, and Humanness in the Age of AI.  Marcel teaches tai chi to senior leaders -- the more relaxed the body, the sharper the mind. He and Andy dig into what a martial art teaches a leader that a leadership book can’t, why AI behaves like an intern that feeds your biases, and the question Marcel asks every CEO who complains about being surrounded by incompetent people.  Tune in to episode 264 to hear the moment in a Gold’s Gym that sent Marcel back to school, why busyness doesn’t happen to you, and what he would say to every version of himself that got fired.  AndrewTemte.com
