One of the trends she’s recognised lately is the breaking point that many leaders reach as they get promoted to more senior roles.Many natural leaders have the ability to wing it… at least for a while. But eventually, they realise that it takes more than good instincts to lead confidently.In this Q&A episode, we explore some of the most compelling questions from these conversations:What does it take to be successful, as your leadership role becomes broader and more demanding?
