The Imposter’s Guide to Authentic Leadership

You got promoted because you were great at your job. So why does being the boss feel like starting over?The people-pleasing instincts that got you promoted aren’t the ones that make you good at leading people. Host Lori Kirksted found that out the hard way and wrote a book about it.A lot of high-achieving people succeed not only because they’re good at what they do, but because they go above and beyond, make sure everyone around them is okay, and never want to be the reason anything goes wrong. For a long time, that works really well. Then you’re in charge, and you can’t keep everyone happy and make the right call at the same time. You can’t lead from the outside in, waiting for approval that may never come, and expect to build a team that trusts you when you don’t even trust yourself.This series is based on the book of the same name, so if anything you hear speaks to you, that’s where to go next for the full framework and the leadership activity prompts.Buy the book here: https://
