What if the leadership problem you’re trying to solve is actually a money problem?
In this bonus episode, Lesley Thomas explores why traditional leadership development may not address what financial pressure is doing to the decisions leaders make. While leadership programmes can improve communication, trust and collaboration, they may not touch the underlying relationship with money and risk that influences high-stakes decisions.
Lesley explains how our early experiences with money can shape how we respond to risk, why two experienced leaders can look at exactly the same investment and reach completely different conclusions, and why these individual judgements can quietly shape the direction of an entire business.
She also explores why leadership teams rarely examine their own relationship with money, and why measuring where each person's risk threshold sits can reveal gaps that traditional leadership assessments never see.
