Leadership is Multifaceted

Leadership today isn’t about climbing one ladder—it’s about weaving together all the threads of who you are.

A recent Fast Company article named the need for more multifaceted leaders: those who draw from many worlds - like, artist and scientist, strategist and storyteller, innovator and empath. These leaders thrive not by narrowing their focus, but by integrating their experiences to build trust, spark creativity, and lead with agility.

For me I know that all the things I have done - actor, producer, set builder, clown (yes, I worked as a professional clown), business owner, board member, etc. have led me to where I am today.

The key is: integration only works if we listen differently.

Not to reply. Not to defend. Not to prove expertise.

But to listen without agenda.

It’s a practical guide for leaders who want to connect across disciplines, cultures, and ideas—not by forcing a single perspective, but by creating space where complexity can thrive.

If the future of leadership is multifaceted, then the skill that unlocks it is listening.
