What does it take to make it to the top? Dr. Karl Moore, cycle director for the Advanced Leadership Program at McGill University, and online leadership columnist for The Globe and Mail, has interviewed over 100 CEOs, such as Warren Buffet, Sir Richard Branson, and Robert Milton, to find the answers to this question. In his fascinating talks, Moore outlines the five key things that individuals and organizations need to do to achieve success, as well as speaking on the importance of innovation and collaboration in the workplace.

In this interview with The Financial Times, Dr. Moore describes how senior female executives are better at collaboration, empathy, and listening, and are more sensible about risk, than men. He tells Della Bradshaw that these skills are of growing importance in today’s corporate world, and that men can learn them.
