Sparks: We Don’t talk About Leadership
Description
The corner office, big bonuses, and calling the shots can’t sugarcoat what being a CEO is like. The reality is far more complex—and often more challenging—than it looks from the outside. What do you think is the hardest part about being at the top? In today’s Leadership Spark, I dive into the untold challenges CEOs face that nobody talks about. From the crushing loneliness of having fewer peers as you climb higher, to the overwhelming decision fatigue from making countless high-stakes choices, being a CEO isn’t for the faint of heart. And let’s not forget: every word you say carries immense weight—one casual comment can snowball into unexpected changes across the company. Staying grounded amidst all this is easier said than done. So, why does no one tell you about these challenges before you get the job? And more importantly, how can you prepare yourself to handle them? Tune in to the full episode to find out.
