Britt Yamamoto is a leadership consultant, entrepreneur, educator at the University of Washington’s Department of Global Health, and a sustainable farmer. In this podcast conversation, he shares key points from his book, “The Soil of Leadership: Cultivating the Conditions for Transformation.”
Yamamoto draws on the first and most important lesson he learned working on a Japanese sustainable farm: A conventional farmer grows plants. A sustainable farmer grows soil. He illuminates the profound notion that genuine leadership doesn’t solely emerge from visible accomplishments; rather, it thrives within the hidden roots that allow our true potential to flourish.
