Episode #287 // As a leader, you face daily pressures which are quite different from the pressures that confronted you when you were a carefree individual contributor, responsible only for your own work.The type of pressure, and its intensity, depends on a number of things: the sector you’re operating in; the organizational culture; the competence and demeanor of your boss… the list goes on.But each level of leadership has pressures that are fairly common across the board, irrespective of other factors. Obviously, the pressures you faced as a front-line supervisor will be very different to the pressures you’re going to face when you become CEO of a large global business.In this episode, I examine the pressures that you’re most likely to be facing at the level you’re operating at now.
