Welcome back to The Defiant Spirit Podcast! Leadership is a critical aspect of any organization, but it’s often misunderstood or neglected. In this episode, Adam and B explore what leadership is, what makes effective leaders, and how to navigate the roadblocks that create breakdowns in leadership. Leadership is not linked to titles and authority. Quite the opposite, in fact. It’s about inspiring others, fostering collaboration, and creating a holistic approach to personal and professional growth. The question is, how do you do that? This is the question we seek to answer in our conversation.
