Episode notes

Dustin leads the European consulting business at Heidrick & Struggles and is co-author of the bestselling book Lead Through Anything, written with his long-time friend and collaborator Ed Manfre. At his core, Dustin is guided by a heartfelt purpose: to leave behind a world better led – not just for today, but for our children.

For more than three decades he has worked from that growing inner intention with CEOs, executive teams, and organizations around the globe – helping to shape thriving cultures and leadership. Staring from within to bring strategy to life.
