Ever noticed how some leaders seem to thrive (almost) effortlessly, while others struggle despite having similar technical skills, similar experiences, similar levels of seniority? What if the "secret" to effective leadership were in how you connect with others and less to do with your technical skill? In this episode I'll be looking for the answers to these and other questions with my guest, Anthony (Tony) Silard. We talk implicit norms and their impact on culture, loneliness at work & for leaders, the role emotional intelligence and social skills have to play in these, gender dynamics, societal expectations, salary gaps, longevity, well-being and more.
