Joanne, author of Game On: Is Management Your Best Career Play?, shares how leadership is not just a promotion—it's a transformation. They dive into how neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and a growth mindset play a key role in modern management, and why making a conscious decision is crucial before stepping into a managerial role.
