    S6 E6: Your Leadership Era Starts Now with Jessica Winder

    Hot take: Nobody is inherently a good leader. Being a leader is a learned skill. What does it really take to be a good leader?  It’s not about being perfect, having all the answers, or walking in like a natural-born boss! Leadership is messy, vulnerable, and learned.  In this episode, my unofficial co-host (and leadership guru) Jessica Winder is back to break it all down.  We talk about why vulnerability is a must (not an option), how to lead when you have zero authority, and why leadership isn’t a natural-born trait—it’s a skill you grow over time.
