Finding Flow in Guiding Leadership Development and Organizational Culture Change: A Conversation with Peter Kalmar, Founding and Managing Partner of Flow International.

My guest this episode is Peter Kalmar, Founding and Managing Partner of Flow International, and former President of IODA, the International OD Association.  Peter shares his story of his consulting firm, and how it evolved from the work of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, who wrote the book, Finding Flow.  Peter describes how his consulting firm uses the concept of Flow in developing leaders and in guiding organizational change, particularly around culture change.  We discuss the role of balance between challenges and skills to create optimum conditions for achieving flow.
