In this video, Anthony Champi discusses the non-linear nature of the leadership journey, emphasizing that it involves both successes and failures, and may not necessarily lead to promotions. He highlights the importance of selflessly committing to the development of others if one chooses to become a leader of people, as well as the challenges and responsibilities that come with that role. He also advises individuals to seek opportunities for skill development and learning from mistakes, as well as the transition to leading larger teams or other managers and leaders.
