Inspire

Galinsky, a social psychologist at Columbia Business School, has spent decades asking why some leaders light people up while others drain them. His answer is that inspiring leaders reliably do three things: they embody their values, they paint a hopeful vision of the future, and they make people feel genuinely seen. Blending research with stories from business, sports, and his own family, he turns inspiration from a mysterious gift into a set of habits anyone can practice.
