Seven years ago James launched The Lonely Leader. In that time he's had the privilege of coaching and mentoring leaders across FTSE 100 businesses, the NHS, SMEs and the wider public and not for profit sectors. Different sectors, different titles, different pressures, and yet the same handful of challenges surface again and again.
In this milestone episode he pulls together the seven challenges that clients have raised most often over the past seven years. For each one, he points you towards the episodes in the back catalogue that explore it in more depth, so you can go straight to the area that matters most to you right now.
Whether you're a chief executive, a founder or an emerging leader, the chances are at least one of these is sitting close to home.
