David B. McLaughlin sits down with Linda Clark to discuss her brand new book, Feral Guideship: A Field Guide for Leaders and Teams.

In this 54-minute conversation, they unpack what feral leadership means, why traditional leadership frameworks fall short, and how leaders can guide teams with authenticity instead of control.

This is the first podcast appearance discussing the book and it's worth your time.
