UH-OH Conversations with Cohesive Leaders
The Promotion He Didn’t Want and the Price He Paid
What happens when success comes faster than wisdom?
In this episode of UH-OH Conversations with Cohesive Leaders, Donzel Leggett shares a powerful early-career UH-OH that many emerging leaders will recognize and few will admit. Thrust into management before he even wanted the role, Donzel felt the pressure to prove himself, deliver results, and not let anyone down.
He did exactly that. And it nearly wrecked his health, his energy, and his life.
Working 16 hour days, pursuing an MBA, and chasing performance at all costs, Donzel ignored the warning signs until one unforgettable moment forced him to confront the truth: success without balance collapses.
This conversation is a masterclass on leadership, personal well-being, defining success on your own terms, and why sharpening the axe matters more than swinging harder.
If you are early in your career, hungry to win, or quietly burning out, this episode might save you years of learning the hard way.
