What if leadership didn’t mean overworking your team, sacrificing your mental health, or pretending to be someone you’re not? In this episode, I’m sitting down with repeat guest, Amanda Litman—founder of Run for Something and author of When We’re in Charge—to talk about how millennials and Gen Z are reshaping leadership from the inside out. We dig into what it takes to lead with empathy, accountability, and boundaries in today’s work culture—and why the old playbook just doesn’t work anymore. From navigating social media and hybrid workplaces to building inclusive, sustainable teams, Amanda offers a refreshingly honest take on how we all can be better leaders, whether you're managing a team or preparing for your first promotion.
