In this episode, we'll learn about navigating leadership in a flattened hierarchy. I will share a study case about Rachel, a senior manager, who suddenly found herself drowning in responsibilities, after her company restructured and eliminated layers of leadership. She struggled to manage, both the increased workload and the expectations from senior leadership, feeling torn between execution and strategic thinking. 

We'll explore the skills she developed to transition from an overwhelmed task doer to an empowered leader. You'll hear the lessons she learned about shifting from execution to influence, setting boundaries, and communicating strategically with senior leaders.

Hopefully, you can leverage her experiences and insights to help you navigate similar challenges in your own career.
