About this Episode:

In this episode of The Transformative Leader Podcast, I’m happy to bring you a conversation with Ed and Peter Schein, about their ideas regarding Humble Leadership and the interdependency between leadership and organizational culture. In this power-packed episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with an inspiring father-son team operating in the space of leadership development and culture work. There are so many gems in this episode for anyone who is interested in developing their leadership capabilities and creating an extraordinary culture in their workplace, so be sure not to miss it!

Father and son duo, Edgar Schein and Peter Schein, are well-known in the organizational development space and co-founders of the Organizational Culture and Leadership Institute. They’ve written several books together, including two in the Humble Leadership series. The first edition of Humble Inquiry (2013) sold more than 200,000 copies worldwide and was translated into seventeen languages.

Ed Schein is Professor Emeritus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Sloan School of Management. He is one of the original scholar-practitioners in the fields of organizational psychology and organizational development and he may be best known for first expanding our understanding of organizational culture. His books, including Process Consultation, Organizational Culture and Leadership, Helping, Humble Consulting and Humble Leadership are translated and published worldwide and his consulting and coaching has transformed leadership since the 1970s. His latest work, Humble Inquiry 2nd Edition, co-authored with his son Peter, is an international best seller. Ed was educated at University of Chicago, Stanford University, and received his PhD in Social Psychology at Harvard University.

Peter Schein is the co-founder and COO of the Organizational Culture and Leadership Institute (OCLI.org) in Menlo Park, CA.
