3 Harsh Leadership Truths Nobody Prepare...

Kara Ronin
About this episode

When you get promoted into leadership, there are a lot of things that people don’t warn you about. For some, these things can be really unsettling and can cause you to regret getting promoted. Because I want you to be as prepared as you can be for this transition, I’m revealing three of these challenges to you in this episode. 

In this episode, I talk about:

  • Jealousy 
  • Fear
  • Being scrutinised

Other episodes I referred to:

- EP 067, How to Be Assertive On-The-Spot
