The Leadership Playbook asks top executives from the business world’s most recognizable brands and companies about the stories behind their success, their leadership secrets, and the biggest obstacles they’ve faced and overcome.
Candid, often humorous, and always inspiring, the show consists of six 45-minute to one-hour episodes per season, one in Fall and the other in Spring.
Three episodes are interviews with business leaders hosted by Joseph M. Phillips, Dean of the Albers School of Business and Economics. The other three are throwback episodes from some of the most memorable Speaker Series talks.
