Seven years, seven challenges every leader faces

Seven years ago James launched The Lonely Leader. In that time he's had the privilege of coaching and mentoring leaders across FTSE 100 businesses, the NHS, SMEs and the wider public and not for profit sectors. Different sectors, different titles, different pressures, and yet the same handful of challenges surface again and again. In this milestone episode he pulls together the seven challenges that clients have raised most often over the past seven years. For each one, he points you towards the episodes in the back catalogue that explore it in more depth, so you can go straight to the area that matters most to you right now. Whether you're a chief executive, a founder or an emerging leader, the chances are at least one of these is sitting close to home. 1.Loneliness in leadership Go deeper: Episode 30 Preventing Loneliness in Leadership:    • Preventing Loneliness in Leadership   Episode 103 Escaping Leadership Loneliness:    • Escaping Leadership Loneliness: The art of...   Episode 106 When performance stops feeling worth it:    • When performance stops feeling worth it: A...   2.Burnout Go deeper: Episode 9 Warning Signs of Burnout and Tips to Prevent It:    • Warning Signs of Burnout and Tips to Preve...   Episode 23 Lessons Learned from Burnout:    • Lessons Learned from Burnout   Episode 71 Holiday Illness, a Warning Sign You Cannot Ignore:    • Holiday Illness: A warning sign you can't ...   3.Imposter syndrome Go deeper: Episode 20 Tackling Imposter Syndrome:    • Tackling Imposter Syndrome   4.
