What makes a truly great leader? And how can leadership be developed into a force for true achievement? Washington, D.C.-based financier and philanthropist David Rubenstein sits down with influential figures to discuss their personal and professional choices and explore their paths to success. “The David Rubenstein Show: Peer-to-Peer Conversations” comes to Arizona PBS Fridays at 7:30 p.m., starting Oct. 4.
“The David Rubenstein Show: Peer-to-Peer Conversations” includes discussions with former U.S. presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton; Comcast CEO Brian Roberts; Nike co-founder and chairman emeritus Phil Knight; cellist Yo-Yo Ma; Fidelity chair and CEO Abigail Johnson; retired general and former politician Colin Powell; and former U.S. Secretaries of State Condoleeza Rice and James A. Baker III.
As a peer in business, Rubenstein asks his guests frank questions, uncovering the moments that define how they think, lead and give back. David M. Rubenstein is the co-founder and co-CEO of The Carlyle Group, one of the world’s largest and most diverse private equity groups.
