Leading When You Don’t Know It All - Dr. Wanda Wallace

Listen Now

Why is it important that you learn to lead outside of your area of expertise?

My guest on this episode is Wanda Wallace, Managing Partner of Leadership Forum

During our conversation Wanda and I discuss:   

• The common leadership beliefs that she passionately disagrees with

• Why she believes people get promoted past their level of expertise and what to do about it

• The importance of executive transitions and why expecting that “execs will figure it out” is a recipe for failure

• Why it is so important that leaders learn how to lead people who have expertise they don’t have

• Her advice for female leaders who want to move from being perceived as “operational” to being seen as “strategic”
