A note about this recording – there is some background electronic noise that we were unable to remove. It is just one of the hazards of long distance recording

Do you have a high profile as a team leader within your organisation? Are there other high profile leaders in your organisation? Do you work together or are you competing for attention?

This week Kim and Fulyana reflect on their experiences working with and for high profile team leaders within an organisation. What role can a CEO take to ensure the organisation comes before the individual?

This week Kim and Fulyana have another case study sent in by a listener.

How do you approach succession planning when someone in your team is unwilling to even talk about the subject? Should you, as the team leader, push for a succession plan in every situation?

This week we are celebrating a milestone in our podcasts – 250 episodes! So we thought we might talk about information overload as it relates to leadership.
