Ever wondered about these untold real life stories of vulnerability, hidden failures and unexpected twists that redefine success? Probably a tech glitch that became an innovation breakthrough or a failed marketing campaign that culminated into a new business strategy. Why leadership fails is a podcast where there is no typical gyaan, no stereotypical tales of glory. Instead, we bring to you unscripted, unfiltered conversations, about real life experiences of influential leaders navigating challenges, embracing failures and redefining success. Stay tuned to Why Leadership Fails with Bhavna Lalchandani, to know more!
