Ahead of the Game Podcast Episode 9: Experiences of Leadership | Digital Marketing Institute

Our 'Modern Mindset' series of podcasts look at ways in which we can all be more productive and how productivity is key to juggling your digital marketing career with your personal life. This lively discussion on the meaning of leadership covers it all - from early mentorship to loneliness at the top, learning humility and being authentic, with Orla Nugent discussing starting her career as a female engineer and Declan Power's experiences grounded in the military. We even hear mention of Bruce Springsteen and, of course, David Brent (from The Office). Host Will Francis brings it all together in this three-way chat about leadership. Step up your game and inspire those around you to maximize their potential too.
