(E30) Jenni Anderson: do things you enjoy
How are you making sure that being a leader doesn’t become your whole personality? In this episode I’m chatting with a CEO full of purpose, but who doesn’t let that define her.
Today I’m talking with Jenni Anderson, chief executive of the Talent Foundry. We discuss walking the talk, being a risk-taker, what it’s like taking over a charity from its founder, getting a Board onside and why it’s important to do the things you enjoy.
