About this listen

Everyone loves to talk about authentic leadership. Very few talk about what happens when it goes wrong.

Authenticity without boundaries turns into ego.

Empathy without self-definition becomes exhaustion.

Leadership skills without sincerity feel like manipulation.

In the latest episode of Insights, I push back on the idea that leadership is just “be yourself.” It’s not. Real leadership is about calibration, knowing when your strengths are helping and when they’re quietly hurting the team.

If you’re tired of leadership buzzwords and want something more honest, give this episode a listen.
