Susan Ney hosts guest, Dr. Kieth Deats, as he shares how his personal journey shaped both his leadership style and the model he created through his doctoral research and dissertation, of Equality-Based Practice and the related Five-Step Framework. Dr. Deats offers programs and dialogue on leading in uncertainty through his business Recree8, based out of Scotland. 

His passion is about “Helping Individuals, Groups and Leaders Think and Grow.” He “Strives for inclusion, transparency, and the well-being of the whole to sustain and increase rates of growth.” He has helped transform companies into places where people love to come to work because they are asked for input, listened to, and truly wish to buy in to their and their organization’s success.  Dr. Deats integrates the latest research and thinking on leadership into his work. He encourages deep dialogue and reflection. We hope you will join us and learn more!
