Why should anyone be led by you? How does power differ from authority in a true and authentic leadership? Why not everyone who is in a leadership position is a leader? Why a true and a great leader is like a gardener? How do office politics impact leadership? Is office politics something we can escape? Did you know that sometimes people get fired over the office politics? Those and so many other questions are answered in an incredibly interesting way by Niven Postma - Klaudyna's very special guest of this 13th and a lucky episode.
