Описание: Are you the leader everyone relies on to fix problems and keep things running smoothly? While being reliable is a strength, it can also become your biggest barrier to reaching senior executive leadership.

If you are working harder than ever but wondering why your career momentum has stalled, this video is for you. I’ll walk you through the transformation from "Workhorse" to "Magician" and share the 5 specific shifts you need to make to drive strategic goals and lead at the next level.
