The Good, The Bad & The Awkward: A Leadership Chat

Leadership is tricky—because people are complicated. There’s no one-size-fits-all leadership style, no perfect formula for team building, and definitely no magic tech tool to make leadership struggles disappear (but if one ever gets invented, let me know).

In this episode, I’m bringing in three very special guests—my own team! Adriana Strama (Operations Manager & Client Manager), Keriann Bellamy (Content Manager), and Varalaxmi V (Systems Strategist & Client Manager) joined me to spill the tea on leadership. We talk about the good, the bad, and the awkward when it comes to leading and being led. We dive into what makes a great leader, the biggest mistakes leaders make, and how our definitions of leadership have evolved over time.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why leadership is more about collaboration than control
• How being an introvert can actually make you a strong leader
• The hardest part about leading a team (hint: delegation!)
• The biggest leadership challenges we’ve faced—and how we overcame them
