Today, she heads one of the largest media groups in the Czech Republic and leads over 300 people. She's convinced that leadership superpowers aren't just toughness or ambition, but rather a mix of courage and kindness. "Kindness without courage is just trying to be nice and makes no real impact. Courage without kindness is simply harsh," says Veronika. In the interview, she further shares why being kind to yourself might actually be the most radical leadership strategy of all.
