What would your team say about your leadership if they knew you’d never hear it?

You might see yourself as supportive, approachable and fair. But do your people experience you that way, especially when the pressure is on?

In this episode of UKNCI Live, Matt Sims joined by Maxine, Nikki and Iolanda for an honest conversation about the shadow we cast as leaders. With personal stories, humour and lessons learned the hard way, they explore how everyday behaviour shapes trust, confidence and what people say when we leave the room.

From emails that land badly to jokes that go too far, the conversation covers:

• Adapting your leadership without losing yourself.

• Managing your emotions when your team needs calm.

• Being approachable and helping people feel safe to challenge you.

• Knowing when to leave the work social.

• The loneliness of leadership and the pressure to have all the answers.

• Earning respect without trying to be everyone’s friend.

An episode that invites you to reflect on your own leadership, ask for honest feedback and be prepared to listen to the answer.

When you leave the room, do your people feel more confident, or just relieved?
