In this conversation, Emma sits down with Simon Sinek to talk honestly about leadership and why so many of us have been taught to think about it the wrong way.

Simon challenges the idea that leadership is about titles, authority, or being “in charge.” Instead, he explains why real leadership is about service, trust, and taking responsibility for the people around you. Together, they unpack why some leaders inspire loyalty while others don’t, how workplace culture shapes behavior, and why leadership isn’t something you’re born with—it’s something you practice.

From unlearning bad habits to developing real human skills like listening and empathy, this clip is a reminder that leadership is less about power and more about showing up for others every day.
