Their frustration is palpable as they discuss how frequently these harmful patterns continue despite clear evidence of their destructive impact.
They explore the “accidental leader” phenomenon; where technically skilled individuals are promoted without proper development; and examine how misunderstanding leadership fundamentals leads to damaging behaviours.

Whether you’re currently in a leadership position or aspire to lead others, this episode will challenge you to reflect on your impact and leadership behaviours.
