Are You a Busy Leader or an Effective Leader?

Have we forgotten how to think as leaders?

This is the question I’ve been exploring in nearly every coaching session lately.

In this solo episode, I’m diving into why deep thinking has gone missing in modern leadership and how the addiction to busyness is holding us and our teams back. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed or constantly relied upon, this episode is your call to reset.

05:35 – Who’s steering the ship if you’re not thinking?
