Dr. Scott Parsons, Founder of the Flourishing Leaders Academy invited Prof Edward Brooks on Episode 13 of the Flourishing Leaders Podcast where they explored character, culture, and the future of leadership. They discussed how virtues such as character, integrity, wisdom, and hope shape leaders who achieve results and build flourishing institutions and communities.
“Leadership is not only about what we do, but about who we are becoming.” — Edward Brooks
In the episode, Ed shares the mission of the Oxford Character Project to cultivate “wise thinkers and good leaders,” drawing on research across finance, business, law, and technology.
He highlights why forming people of character whose leadership rests on integrity is as important as competencies for flourishing organisations.
