Ep 184 – You don't need to have all the answers when you are a leader
Episode 184
Monday, June 16, 2025 • Duration 11:58
When we think of a confident leader, we might imagine someone who always knows the right thing to do straight away or who has all the answers. And then we feel bad because we like to think things through before responding, or we don't always know the answer.
Some of us can spend a fair bit of time negatively comparing ourselves to this fictional and seemingly perfect leader! That mental energy could be going somewhere far more productive so in this mini episode I want to unpick the myth that a good leader always has the answers.
This is Influence & Impact for Leaders with Carla Miller, the podcast that helps leaders like you increase your impact and build a happy and high performing team. Each episode delivers focused, actionable insights you can implement immediately, to be better at your job without working harder.
