What truly makes someone a good leader? And why do some people easily reach management roles yet struggle to unite their teams?
In this episode, Chloë welcomes Allison Howell, CEO at Hogan Assessments, and Rene Kusch, Managing Partner at Relevant. Together, they break down common misconceptions about leadership and explain, using scientific data, why the most visible leaders are not always the most effective ones.
With Chloë, they explore:
👉 The difference between leaders who emerge and those who sustainably build high‑performing teams
👉 The qualities organizations tend to reward… and the ones employees actually expect from their managers
👉 The universal expectations teams have regarding leadership, beyond cultural differences
👉 The “derailers” that can turn a strength into a weakness under stress
👉 Why a clear framework fosters trust, autonomy, and psychological safety
👉 How HR can rely on science and data to develop more effective leadership
An episode designed to help you rethink how leaders are selected and developed, so you can build more high‑performing organizations over the long term.
