In this episode, host Jimmy Burroughes explores why 77% of companies still don't have ready successors despite billions spent on leadership development. He dives into the belief-behaviour gap, the hidden reason most leadership programmes fail to create lasting change, and shows how surfacing and challenging your core beliefs is what makes new habits actually stick.
