Description

In this eye-opening episode of Small Talk, Alec sits down with Tina Sioson to challenge one of the biggest lies in the workplace: that promotions and titles automatically make you a leader.


With decades of experience in leadership development, Tina reveals why competence alone won’t make people follow you, how bad promotions create “accidental leaders,” and why character and readiness matter more than technical skills. She also explains why not everyone is meant to lead — and how organizations can grow their people without forcing them into roles they’re not built for.


If you’ve ever felt the pressure to move up, questioned what real leadership looks like, or wondered why teams struggle under the wrong managers, this conversation will give you a new perspective on what it truly takes to lead.
