#30: Most Leaders aren't Leading ⏤ & how to Cultivate Real Leadership Qualities

In this episode, I challenge the common assumption of what it means to be a leader, and make an uncomfortable proposal:

Most leaders are not actually leading. 

This episode explores what real leadership looks like, and how to cultivate the qualities that make a true leader.

Enjoy!!

Peace, Power.
