  • What They Don't Tell You About Leadership
    Feb 27 2024

    Whether you're a current leader, or hoping to fill the boss's shoes someday soon, there are likely to be things no one ever told you about what it really means to be a leader of people. In this episode we discuss the motivations that drive individuals to move into leadership roles, and the transformation required to go from individual contributor to leading a team. We confront the isolation that leaders often face when weighed down by pivotal decisions and how to be a friend to the team without compromising the professional limits that must be upheld.

    Stepping into the trenches of leadership means bridging the gap between theory and hands-on experience, a theme we dissect with stories from our own leadership battles. We stress the importance of leaders continuously learning, and the culture of growth and adaptability that we strive to instill in our teams. We share personal anecdotes on the tightrope walk between resilience and openness to change, illustrating the combination of self-awareness and proactive strategy in exceptional leadership. As we wrap up, we emphasize the empowering choice to own your professional development and inspire others as you climb the ranks.
