  • 662: What makes a good leader in small business?
    2026/10/26

    In this coaching episode, Fiona Killackey explores one of the most underestimated transitions in business: becoming a leader. Drawing on her own leadership experiences and years of coaching business owners, Fiona shares five important lessons about balancing compassion with professional standards, having difficult conversations and creating a workplace where people feel supported while being held accountable.

    You'll learn:

    • Why being great at what you do doesn't automatically make you a great leader, and how to navigate that transition.
    • How to balance empathy with clear expectations, give honest feedback and have difficult conversations that genuinely help your team grow.
    • Why leading by example, maintaining professional standards and recognising when someone isn't the right fit are essential parts of building a strong team.
