In this thought-provoking episode, HR expert Lalita Dixit joins Majeed to flip the script on leadership. With 29 years in the corporate world and experience reporting to 21 different managers, Lalita brings a rare perspective: that of the employee.
She’s not a manager, but she’s seen leadership done brilliantly—and disastrously. Drawing from her upcoming book "I'm Not a Leader", Lalita shares what every organization needs to know about cultivating real leadership, preventing burnout, and elevating employee experience from the ground up.
Why leadership isn’t about title, but behavior
The #1 mistake organizations make when promoting people into leadership roles
How poor resource planning leads to burnout and stunts employee growth
The power of feedback from the people being led—not just metrics from above
A fresh approach to evaluating leaders: empathy, trust, and people-first thinking
