A sneak peek inside the episode:
“Leadership is something that’s cultivated and that it has to be practised every single day. And consistency. You can’t be a leader Monday, Tuesday and every second Friday, right? You’ve gotta be a leader and you gotta practise that every single day. And it’s about challenging yourself. It’s about continuing to research and to read so that you understand the different communication styles, understanding that being an assertive communicator is necessary in effective leadership. Understanding things like creating healthy environments for your team.”
