Bio:
Stephen Josephs helps leaders shape their cultures and bring out people’s best work. His 40-year executive coaching practice has grown through decades of training and research. In the 1970s he began “modeling” exemplary leaders, identifying the thought processes that allowed them to outperform others by significant margins. He is co-author of Leadership Agility which illustrates how stages of psychological maturity affect a leader’s capacity to lead.
In exploring mind-body disciplines from many traditions, his two ongoing questions have been: What are the central principles of transformation common to all these methods? Secondly: How can they be applied to catalyze maturity in leaders? These twin inquiries have guided his work in helping leaders respond to their challenges with increased vitality, focus and heart.
