#208: How to Feel Like a More Useful Leader


Listen Later

One of the common complaints levelled at leaders (especially in the middle-management layer) is that they are “useless” and “don’t do anything”.

In this episode, I take a look at some ways to help yourself (and your team) feel like you’re making a positive difference in your leadership role.
