Rob Kaplan, vice chairman of Goldman Sachs, distills the most important lessons from his Harvard Business School class on leadership. This video series can help anyone serving in a leadership capacity—in a business setting or within a family—to develop their distinct leadership style, identify and navigate blind spots, and align others around their vision.

In conversation with Meena Flynn, chair of Global Private Wealth Management, Kaplan discusses leadership as not solely innate charisma—but as a set of skills that can be practiced and refined over time. These insights come from decades in leadership positions across Goldman Sachs, Harvard Business School, the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, and several non-profit organizations.
