The Alchemy of Business Show with Steve Rodgers

TITLE: What It Takes To Be a Great Leader with Alisa Cohn

DESCRIPTION:

Many leaders are perceived as competent, confident, and in control. People come to them for support, direction, and advice. As a business owner or leader in your organization, you are expected to have answers. But as human beings, we are not all-knowing. This can lead to self-doubt and Imposter Syndrome. This is why embracing vulnerability and letting your team see you as human is one step to becoming a great leader.

In this episode of The Alchemy of Business, Alisa Cohn, author and start-up coach, joins our host, Steve Rodgers, to talk about leadership and what it takes to be a great leader. They talk about the human side of leadership and how to align your intention with the impact you want to have.
