Are you becoming the boss you actually want to be — and the one people want to work for? On this episode of Her Resources, hosts Linda Misegadis and Cyndi Manuel sit down with renowned C-Suite coach and author Sabina Nawaz to unpack what really happens under the pressures of leadership.
Sabina shares candid stories — including how she went from being the “best boss ever” to the “boss from hell” — and gives practical tips from her new book You’re the Boss. Discover how to stay aligned with your values, stop micromanaging, and foster a team that trusts and grows with you.
🌟 Listen in for: ✔️ How to spot early warning signs that your leadership is drifting ✔️ Why “good bosses” aren’t born — they’re made ✔️ The traps managers fall into (and how to escape) ✔️ Why you should let three people speak before you do ✔️ How to build blank space into your week to reset and lead better
