For most high-profile leaders, the “math” comes naturally – define the vision, assemble the team, build the business, strategically adjust the dials and drive.
What I see so often are leaders who feel perplexed, even held back by self-imposed limits on person connections. Building a thriving business is almost ‘easier’ than letting friends, colleagues and family experience the ‘other side’ where vulnerability lives, and true risk resides.
As a licensed therapist, I’ve worked alongside high-profile executives for 20 years to arm them with the tools needed to take the business further while allowing genuine connections to form. It is entirely possible to be a successful leader who sets the stage for the road ahead who is also seen, loved and joined on their journey absent judgement, loss of power or risk.
