Great leadership means knowing when to shift perspective – from advocating for your team to thinking about what’s best for the whole organisation. In this episode, Lucy and Juliet explore what it really means to ‘switch hats’ as a leader, why some leaders struggle with it, and how to help others step into that bigger-picture thinking.

Whether you’re leading a team, part of a cross-functional project, or building strategic awareness in your role, this episode will help you flex between detail and direction – and understand where your work fits in the bigger picture.

They discuss

• Why leadership means switching between team priorities and organisational strategy
• What to do when decisions benefit the organisation but challenge your team
• How to help others develop the mindset to ‘change hats’
• Why peer relationships are key to senior leadership success
• How to create a culture where challenge, empathy and clarity can coexist
