info_outlineLeaders aren’t born, they are developed.

After getting her Ph.D. in Organizational Development, and working with a global consulting firm in China, she launched her consulting practice, helping hundreds of companies across the globe. Including major brands and government contractors.
Her no-nonsense but lighthearted approach is what separates her from the rest. Also, she’s the author of The Seven Mistakes New Managers Make, and she’s driven by a mission to help people find their voice in a noisy world and lead from within. She truly believes anyone can be developed into a great leader.
In our conversation, Janet Polach talks about how great leaders can be developed by owning the responsibility and putting in the effort to work on becoming one:
- How leaders can be developed
- How to tap the hidden strengths within each of your team members
- Why do leaders find it hard to give more feedback
