Description

Are you unknowingly sabotaging your leadership by staying too busy? Senior executives often fall into the trap of emotional buffering, keeping themselves occupied with tasks and meetings to avoid discomfort, tough conversations, or strategic thinking. While it feels productive in the moment, this sneaky habit can erode influence, limit results, and quietly weaken leadership presence. In this episode, you’ll learn how to spot emotional buffering in yourself and your team, why it happens, and the hidden costs of letting it continue.
