Podcast Overview

Leadership can be thankless, frustrating, and just plain hard. It can also be really rewarding. Too often, leadership is talked about like some sort of divine calling where you clock out every day feeling satisfied with the transformational change you've bestowed upon your employees. Any lead who's been around more than a minute knows this isn't always the case. Whether it's leading people or making organizational decisions, it's not always easy being the lead. We talk through the hard things to help leads level up, no matter what their challenges.
