About this episode

How do you know when you’re ready for leadership? Are there signs you can look for to get an indication if you are ready or not ready for leadership? Absolutely! In this podcast episode, I delve into 5 signs that you’re not ready for leadership right now. It doesn’t mean you won’t be ready for leadership in the future. All it means is you might need to do some learning and development to equip yourself with the skills you’re missing to become a leader. What you learn in this episode will help guide you toward the skills you need to improve on and develop.
