#50 Authority vs. Approachability: Finding the Sweet Spot in Leadership
In this milestone 50th episode of The Exceptional Leadership Podcast, I tackle a powerful question: “How do you balance being approachable with maintaining authority?”
It’s a challenge every leader faces. Lean too far into approachability and you risk being taken for granted; lean too heavily on authority and you may seem distant or unrelatable. In this episode, I share practical strategies for finding that sweet spot where you can foster genuine connection, openness, and trust, while still holding firm to your leadership values and the respect your role requires.
Whether you’re leading a small team or a large organisation, this conversation will help you refine your leadership presence and ensure you remain both respected and relatable.
