Real leaders know when not to lead.

In this episode of The Diary of a CFO, host Wassia Kamon, CPA, CMA, MBA invited guest Summa Simmons, AVP, Treasury at Victoria’s Secret & Co., to share the leadership lesson that changed how she shows up in every room.

“Sometimes you’re the hammer. Sometimes you’re the nail. Know which one you are-and act accordingly.”

When to challenge-and when to listen.

Because leadership isn’t a title.
