Episode#138 - It's Lonely at the Top: A Guide for Overwhelmed Executives with Corinne Gavlinski
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
As you ascend in your career, finding a trusted, objective confidant becomes nearly impossible. You're constantly navigating political landscapes, managing difficult peers, and making critical decisions in a state of executive function all day long, and it's leading to burnout.
My guest, Corinne Gavlinski, has been in your shoes. As a former executive turned private talk partner for senior leaders, she understands this lonely reality. In this episode, she provides a strategic guide for navigating the C-suite. We discuss perspective-building, managing your team when you're stretched thin, and the crucial importance of having a thinking partner.
This is an essential conversation for any senior leader who feels the weight of their role and is looking for practical strategies to lead with resilience.
This strategic conversation covers:
► How to gain perspective when you're too "in it" and emotional.
► The danger of homogenizing your team members when you're stressed.
► Why your recovery from a mistake is more important than the mistake itself.
► The single most important job of a leader (Hint: It's not just about hitting targets).
