What if the biggest leadership mistake isn’t doing too little but trying to do too much alone? In this episode of the Leading Visionaries, host Anjel B. Hartwell sits down with Daria Rudnik, former Chief People Officer and ex-Deloitte professional, who shares a powerful shift in modern leadership. Drawing from her global executive experience and transition from corporate leadership to entrepreneurship, Daria breaks down what it really takes to lead in uncertainty, reduce overwhelm, and create teams that thrive without constant direction.
This conversation is a must-listen for leaders who feel stretched, responsible for everything, and unsure how to keep their teams engaged in a rapidly changing world.
