Mike Horne
Authentic Leadership for Everyday People is the podcast where we investigate the connection between effective leadership and authenticity. If you are looking for inspiration and tips on how to become a better leader by being your true self, you are in the right place.
Today we talk to Mike Horne, an executive coach and leadership expert with over 30 years of experience leading human resources development in life sciences and high-tech organizations. Mike is also an author and the host of the podcast Authentic Change.
Mike helps executives and aspiring leaders and their teams to avoid, minimize, or reduce poor outcomes related to people and culture actions and decisions. He coaches clients on how to close the gap between probable (the best they can do) and possible (what they are capable of doing).
