Season #3

Does this sound familiar? You've been told to simply work harder and become an expert in your field to become a great leader, but it's not getting you the results you desire. The pain of tirelessly striving for expertise, only to find yourself stuck in a narrow leadership role, is all too real. It's time to break free from this ineffective action and explore the transformative power of spanning leadership.

In this episode, you will be able to:

  • Discover how personal growth can elevate your pathway to successful leadership.
  • Uncover the secret to seamlessly transitioning from an expert to a spanning leadership style

My special guest is Wanda Wallace
