#0168: So You Wanna Join the C-Suite: Episode 6 — PEOPLE RISK: Developing Leaders Without Creating Disasters

Leadership development is a long game—and when it’s rushed or misaligned, the consequences ripple far beyond one role. In this episode, we explore the delicate art of growing future leaders without leaving a trail of collateral damage. - How do you spot leadership potential early—and nurture it with intention, not assumption? - What happens when a promotion doesn’t go as planned? We share a moment we missed the mark, and what we’d do differently now. - How do you model leadership culture instead of simply managing tasks? - And how do you balance mentoring others while still delivering your own results? This mid-series episode zooms out to examine the broader impact of leadership decisions—on teams, culture, and the leaders we’re shaping for tomorrow. If you’ve ever wrestled with the tension between growth and risk, this one’s for you.
