Often, leading feels like drinking from a firehose, so it makes sense if you find yourself wondering if you’re the problem, or the only one going under.
You’re not. And Caroline Webb has spent three decades showing leaders why. One of the world’s most decorated coaches, an economist and former McKinsey partner, Caroline’s driven by something disarmingly simple: she wants to be useful. So she took that drive and wrote us an exceptional book.
On the first episode of This Changes Things, Shoshanna sits down with her dear friend Caroline, author of Leadership Intelligence, out today. They get into the book, the specific tools you can put to work the minute you finish listening, and a reframe that offers instant relief: your brain holds just a handful of things at a time while a billion come at you — so no, multitasking was never real, and also no, you’re not failing.
You’ll come away leading differently, and not just at work.
