Choosing Yourself at Work: Skill Security, Power & Leadership | S5 EP1
Cathy Duffy joins us to explore redefining power at work, building skill security, and choosing yourself as a leader in today’s evolving workplace.
In the Season 5 premiere of The Leadership Tea Podcast, Cathy reflects on leadership from inside complex organizations, sharing hard-earned insights on compensation, identity beyond titles, and why job security is no longer enough. She challenges leaders to focus on skill security, generosity, and self-trust, especially in moments of transition or uncertainty.
