Leadership In Full

Susan Moloisane

Leadership in Full goes beyond the highlight reel. Most leadership stories are the polished ones: the wins, the clean version. This show is about the rest. The hard calls, the moments that didn't go to plan, and what leaders actually learned when things got tough. Hosted by Susan Moloisane, each episode is an honest conversation with a senior leader about a moment that tested them, and the lessons the rest of us can take from it. If you're a leader, or growing into one, this is a place to hear how it really felt. New episodes weekly.
