Season 3 of Built to Lead focuses on how we can intentionally propagate joy as leaders. Focusing through the lens of Dr. Martin Seligman's PERMA model, Mobeen and Matthew interview leaders in North American healthcare systems and have joyful conversations about joy.
Season 2 of Built to Lead profiles the seminal work of Dr. Henry Mintzberg and explores the mindsets required of contemporary leaders in health - namely, the reflective mindset, the analytical mindset, the collaborative mindset, the worldly mindset and the action mindset. These leadership mindsets are revisited with Dr. Mintzberg and explored through the eyes of a diverse range of contemporary leaders in Canadian health care.
