In this episode, Charlotte Rooney and I dive into what it means to balance being an impactful leader while also having a life you love.

We explore how leadership isn't just about being in charge but also about empowering others and making time for yourself, which can actually reduce stress and boost your happiness.
 
Key Points:
 
Redefining Leadership: Charlotte shares her thoughts on what it really means to be a leader. It's not just about being the boss; it’s about inspiring and motivating your team towards a common goal. 8:03
 
Delegation and Empowerment: Charlotte talks about how true leadership involves delegating tasks and empowering your team, not trying to do everything yourself. This challenges the old-school idea that leaders need to sacrifice their personal time to be effective. 12:45
 
Positive Outcomes of Personal Time: We discuss how prioritising personal time and delegating can lead to great benefits like reduced stress, more growth opportunities, better relationships, increased happiness, and a boost in creativity. 25:01

Charlotte Rooney is the founder of A half Managed Mind, a leadership coach & mentor for women in middle management who're tired of the tug of war between their team, their boss & their family (leaving no time AT ALL for themselves)!
