Description

Evolving your leadership today isn't only about strategy, goals and performance, it's about people, being real and growing through change, with all its highs and lows.

In this episode, I'm joined by Sri Sharma, serial technology entrepreneur, who has founded 2 companies that have both sold to private equity, and is now a strategic advisor to B2B software and agency scale-ups.

In our conversation we explore what it means to be a leader with authenticity, how to build global teams, and stay resilient and strong in moments of uncertainty and business pressure.

Sri shares about how leadership is different from management, the power of truthful communication, and how to lead high-performing remote and multicultural teams. He offers brilliant insights on empathy, mentoring, and how to keep learning and evolving your leadership style.

What you'll learn in this episode:

  • Why authentic leadership creates trust and stronger teams.
  • How to communicate truthfully during challenging moments.
  • Growth through doing, not only thinking.
  • Building high-performing, culturally diverse remote teams.
  • The 2 types of empathy and how they support better leadership and mentoring.

Reflection Questions:
