"I'm Muriel Wilkins, and this is Coaching Real Leaders, part of the HBR Podcast Network. I'm a long-time executive coach who works with highly successful leaders who've hit a bump in the road. My job is to help them get over that bump by clarifying their goals and figuring out a way to reach them so that hopefully they can lead with a little more ease."
"I guess here's the thing for me that I struggle with, is I don't have any aspirations to be leader of the free world. I don't necessarily want to own a company, be the president, be the CEO.

Unforeseen circumstances led her to become owner of a company she had joined, and she has been working to stabilize the organization. She excelled as a reliable team contributor in public sector roles and performed very well as part of a cohesive team. She lacks a strong personal aspiration to be the top executive and feels uncertain about committing to permanent C-suite leadership despite demonstrating competence in parts of the role.
