What if the secret to becoming an effective leader has nothing to do with titles, strategy, or KPIs—and everything to do with people?
In this episode, CEO Jacobia Solomon opens up about her non-linear rise from engineer to executive leader across companies like Ford, Newell Rubbermaid, and Memorial.
