79. Understanding Self-Sabotage in Leading, with Dr. Vongai Nyahunzvi

Crushed under the hollowness of false humility, carrying the weight of ‘hero leader syndrome’ as you walk through meetings and rooms, walking with a stone in your shoe trying to do too much too often for too many people, and abandoning yourself in the process, Dr Vongai Nyahunzi, from Teach for All, and now the author of two leadership books, shares her deeply inspiring journey of leading with us. And within that journey, many hidden leading tips. From being an 8 year old who’s yellow torn dress taught her the first lesson in leading, to all the wisdom her father’s leadership taught her, to cultivating the right mindset for leading. She shares this and much more in the latest episode. One of my favourite lines from the podcast was “As a leader, don’t just look through the window, look through the mirror.” What does that truly mean? Listen to the episode to find out!
