Nobody Told Me Leadership Would Be Like This

Nobody Told Me Leadership Would Be Like This Leadership looks a lot different from the stage than it does on a random Tuesday afternoon. Nobody really prepares you for the repetition, the hard conversations, the people you will disappoint, or the weight you sometimes have to carry quietly. In this episode, James Wilson Jr. and JC Fowler talk about the less glamorous side of leadership — and why some of the things that make you question yourself may actually be normal parts of carrying responsibility. YOU’LL HEAR: Why great leadership is often ordinary and repetitive Why leaders have to keep saying what matters most What happens when doing the right thing still disappoints people Why people-pleasing eventually collides with leadership How to decide which feedback deserves weight Why leaders need somewhere healthy to process what they’re carrying CROSS THE THRESHOLD THIS WEEK: Ask yourself: 1.
