Leadership Roots with Mark Redmond

Hilary O’Meara, Country Managing Director of Accenture in Ireland, talks to Mark about harnessing self-doubt, maintaining a healthy work-life balance, showing “wise compassion” as a leader and creating space for debate by your team. She also talks about her journey to becoming a passionate advocate for inclusion and equality, how to “fill yourself back up” with self-care and an AI strategy for leaders.

It’s both a little more conversation and a little more action when Carolan Lennon talks to Mark as her leadership of Salesforce Ireland draws to a close. Caroline talks about how you stay true to your values as a leader in good times and bad, how to get people aligned around a goal, staying focussed on your north star and the plan to get you there. She also talks about the importance of sponsors and mentors on her journey, checking in with yourself to make sure you are in balance and how to remove barriers to gender equality.
