The Most Underrated Leadership Skills You’re Not Practicing

In this fast-paced and practical episode, Josh Anderson and Bob Galen run through 10 essential “hats” every leader must learn to wear — even the ones that feel uncomfortable or counterintuitive. From truth-teller to listener, follower to guide, each role represents a different kind of leadership presence and responsibility.

They challenge the myth that leaders should always have the answers, instead offering a more grounded view of modern leadership: one rooted in humility, honesty, coaching, detachment, and constant growth. Whether you're managing a team or shaping a culture, this is your crash course in leading with intention and impact.
