For decades, leadership was judged by outputs such as profit, speed, and results. But the real competitive advantage now lies beneath the surface of your P&L: Your culture, trust, and psychology driving every decision, including cybersecurity.
Hacia Atherton, the author of The Billion Dollar Blind$pot, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss the invisible human costs — fear, burnout, disengagement — quietly draining performance. She will discuss the silent costs of outdated leadership and gives you a playbook to fix them for good, including:
Self Leadership
Psychological Success with Emotional Mastery
Co-designing a Culture to Thrive
Leaders need to turn emotional intelligence into a measurable business strategy. Because emotional intelligence isn’t optional anymore, it’s operational.
