Download your FREE Start, Grow, Scale Roadmap in under 30 seconds: ROADMAP

What actually makes a great CEO, and does it change when you go from leading 10,000 people to leading five? Jeannette Linfoot spent 25 years climbing from graduate trainee to CEO of Saga's travel division and Managing Director of Emerging Markets at TUI, before leaving the boardroom to found Brave Bold Brilliant and host the Rise Up Academy podcast. She breaks down the leadership lessons, hard calls and mindset shifts from both sides of the desk.

She explains:

-       Why she spent years telling herself "I'm not entrepreneurial" - and why that inner voice was rubbish

-       Why a leader needs to be like a helicopter: hovering above the business, knowing exactly when to land

-       Why letting go of the tasks you hate is the easiest way to start delegating
