The Likable Leader
Jason Young and Jonathan Malm make the case that likability isn't about being soft or seeking approval — it's a leadership skill you can build. This season we're working through what it looks like to become a leader people actually love to follow, and how that changes the way a staff team works together.

by Jason Young and Jonathan Malm
Becoming a leader people love to follow. Our own hosts unpack why likability is a real, buildable leadership skill — not a popularity contest — and how the small ways you show up shape whether people trust you, follow you, and want to work alongside you.
