Leading at high speed: empowerment vs. efficiency with CEO Danielle Diliberti
Download MP3A great leader aims for efficiency, without sacrificing culture or their team's professional growth. How? We asked Danielle Diliberti, CEO of fast-growing experiential marketplace Sommsation (plus a CTO of a wellness brand - and a tech investor - in her spare time).
In this episode, Danielle shares what she's learned as a first-time CEO about how to set people up for success, when to step in to fix something - and when to stay out of it, and her top strategy for building a culture of collaboration. Doing all this while building an industry-changing product is no mean feat, even without wearing three high-profile hats; but Danielle has a few tricks up her sleeve that you will want to steal - whether you are the CEO or you're just starting your career. These are strategies everyone can use to become a more effective team member and lead from within.
