Unlearning to Lead
Why the Habits That Built Your Career Are Quietly Holding You Back and What to Do About ItBy Paul Bangsten
Length2h 9m
About this audiobook
Think back to the last meeting someone dominated from the first minute. Loud, fast, opinionated on everything — and by the end, everyone knew what they thought and almost nothing about what they could actually do. Somewhere quieter in that same room was someone still practicing the habit that got them their first promotion twenty years ago: filling every silence, proving themselves constantly, leading from the front no matter the cost.
