209: Navigating the Realities of Effective Leadership

Rachael Hanley-Browne, CEO of Team Lab, joins our host, Simone Sweeney, for a very grounded exploration of the realities of leadership, and how you become a better leader: what is the 'secret recipe?’ Especially for those who may be considered atypical leaders, for example, who are not charismatic extroverts, are outside of large corporates in SMEs or who are individual contributors. Rachael focuses on leadership for founders and entrepreneurs as well as deep subject matter experts. They discuss the role of coaching and mentoring in leadership development and include many practical tips for coaches and leaders themselves.

You will learn:

·       What it takes to be a leader

·       Why awareness of self, context and environment is key to good leadership

·       The challenges and rewards leadership involves

“It takes courage to put yourself out there; it takes courage to let people see you and experience all of your strengths and weaknesses; courage to make unpopular decisions… courage to hold your ground and to have that self-belief when others disagree with you.”
