Adapting your leadership style is essential but if you're not careful, it can feel exhausting.
In this episode, Ben explains how to shift your style to suit different situations - whether it's being more direct in a crisis or more outgoing when networking, while keeping it sustainable.
He draws on personality psychology research, including insights from Brian Little's work on "personal projects," to help leaders recognise when it's worth stretching themselves and when to restore their energy.
The goal: flexible, people-focused leadership that won't compromise your wellbeing.
