Ep. 8 | The Hidden Leadership Energy Leak No One Talks About with Paul Grainger
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Many leaders today feel like they’re operating at full speed with no pause button. The pace of work keeps rising, priorities stack on top of each other, and even the most capable leaders find themselves in a never-ending sprint: quick decisions, quick updates, and a finish line that that doesn't seem to end.
In this episode, Rich and Paul talk about what this fast pace is actually doing to leaders’ energy. They explore the small leaks that show up when everything feels urgent, the hidden noise leaders carry without noticing, and the quiet fatigue that builds when you’re constantly switching gears. They also explore simple, practical ways leaders can stay steady, clear, and effective, even when the work around them refuses to slow down.
