EP 54. Leading Without Expertise with Emma Bennett

In this week’s episode I have a really great conversation with Emma Bennett, a high-impact leader known for her impressive business results and the thriving work environments she creates.

Emma shares her unique approach to leadership – leading without expertise. We talk about what this concept means to her, how she’s built a successful career around it, and the strategies she’s developed along the way.

Emma’s journey is filled with valuable lessons from her diverse career, which spans roles as a researcher, lecturer, HR manager, operations manager, and general manager.

I love how Emma challenges conventional wisdom about leadership and expertise, and throughout the episode, you will learn how you too, can lead effectively, even without being an expert in your field.


In this episode, you will learn:

  • What it means to lead without expertise, and how this approach has shaped Emma’s leadership style and career
  • How common this leadership style is in the working world and if it’s valued or challenged
  • The relationship between expertise, confidence, and credibility
  • Strategies for building confidence and credibility without traditional expertise
  • Emma’s tips on harnessing leading without expertise to enhance your leadership skills

If you’re holding yourself back because you’re not enough of an “expert” then this episode is ABSOLUTELY for you!
