Podcast Episode 1: The Accidental Leader

Are you an “accidental” leader?

Have you found yourself leading a team or an organization without a lot of preparation?

In my first episode of Path Forward – Real Conversations About Leadership, I explored with my guest his experience of waking up one day and finding out he was now the boss.
 
In this conversation, we talked a lot about bringing your genuine self to your leadership challenges. You can learn a lot about leadership from a book, but sometimes you have to trust yourself and hurl yourself into the opportunity that’s in front of you.

You’ll hear in this episode how our guest struggled to find an approach to leadership that wasn’t mannered or overly practiced – and how I encouraged him to trust his judgment, express himself fully and courageously, and lead from the heart.

Listen to the episode and let me know if you can relate.
