In my second isolated talks, I introduce the concept of the hidden leaders, the leaders hiding in plain sight, the leaders who push and pull your company towards the end goal without any fuss or demand for recognition. Find out if you are a hidden leader. Full video walk through available https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK4mPurpuNE

34. Does Joanna have a hiding in plain sight
problem?
?
?
?

35. The problem is Joanna has been with the same
company for three + years
And believes her internal clout has now been used
up 😞

36. 🧠
Joanna is a what I call a hidden leader,
as Matthew Syed would say she is a prestige
leader.
Joanna leads with knowledge, purpose and
intelligence.

37. 💯
Adam Grant would call Joanna a giver not a taker -
and like it sounds, that is a good thing

steps and actions to ensure the company
progresses however hard the battle is

40. There will be a handful of Joanna's you have met
in your professional life,
- Deeply respected
- Deeply knowledgable
and
- Not one to scream and shout and be loud to be
seen. 👀

41. 📉
Typically, once the hidden leader decides to move
on
They move on and the company often starts to fall
behind

42. Slowly but surely,
the company wonders
what’s happened
