      <title>Leadership - The Great Leader Myth Is a Terrible Date</title>
      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI4707708268</link>
      <description>Nick Ledger examines why we're terrible at identifying good leaders, tracing research from Ralph Stogdill's 1948 findings through transformational leadership theory. The episode reveals that traits like charisma don't predict leadership success—selfless service does. Nick explores why we confuse performance with practice and what actually builds influence: listening, follow-through, and genuine interest in others.
