My recent essay on the crisis of local leadership, From Titans to Technocrats, was inspired by an op-ed by longtime Columbus, Ohio economic development person Mark Barbash. I’m delighted to have him on the podcast this week to talk about leadership transformation in America, and how it undermines our ability to address some of our biggest social problems.
We about about generational change, corporate consolidation, changes in how philanthropy operates, the K-shaped economy, and whether our city - and by extension our national - elites really need to solve social problems in order to succeed.
This is really important material for people who want to really understand what’s happened to leadership in our country and especially in our communities.
