How to Take the Lead

08-02-2024 • 41 mins

Have you heard about unlearning? It sounds like the opposite of what we are all about here at How To Take The Lead - learning, growth and development. But understanding what we need to unlearn as leaders is key to that growth and development.

In this episode we cover:

  • what we mean by the concept of unlearning
  • why unlearning a crucial part of our leadership journeys
  • how you know what you need to unlearn in order to improve
  • Seeking feedback and engaging others in your unlearning

As it's the last episode of this series you can also hear our highlights from series 4. Both of us particularly loved the conversation about self-leadership.
