About the Episode

Episode Highlights:

  1. Your effectiveness as a leader is negatively impacted when you neglect self-care.

  3. Executive leadership carries personal risk and responsibility, necessitating reflection on personal obligations, courage, and lifestyle changes to increase effectiveness.
  4. Gratefulness and servant leadership can affirm one’s motivations for leadership amid challenging circumstances and professional transitions.
