Episode 20: How to Lead Like a Founder (Even If You’re Not the Boss)

from Worthy to Lead · host Kristiana Corona

You don’t need a title to lead. And you definitely don’t need permission to drive results that matter. In this episode of Worthy to Lead, I share three real stories from my time at Amazon where individual contributors stepped up, took ownership, and delivered high-impact results without any formal authority. We’ll unpack what it looks like to lead like a founder, how to influence across teams, and why the best leaders are always looking for ways to contribute. In this episode, you’ll learn: What extreme ownership actually looks like in a corporate setting How internal "founders" influence up, across, and beyond their scope How to help your team build more authority for themselves Links and Resources: Free 15-Minute Coaching Guide → worthytolead.co/coaching15 Watch the "Greatness" video by David Marquet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqmdLcyES_Q&t=46s Connect with Kristiana:🌐 Website: worthytolead.co💼 LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/kristianacorona📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/worthytolead/
