About this listen
Leadership debt isn’t loud. It’s slow, silent, and devastating over time. In this episode, we break down:
- What leadership debt really is—and why most companies don’t see it until it’s too late
- The core drivers of leadership debt: low emotional intelligence, weak accountability, poor succession planning, ethical erosion
- Emotional intelligence (EQ) as the foundation of sustainable leadership—and what it actually means to apply it
- How to audit leadership health with 360° feedback, engagement scores, network reach, burnout indicators, and resilience factors
- Real-world examples: how detrimental supervision quietly destroys trust, productivity, and retention
- Trust: how it's built, how it's broken, and the rigorous steps for ethical repair when failures happen
- Why most succession plans fail—and how to build a Centered Succession Model that actually works
- Leadership paradoxes: slow down to speed up, streamline without gutting strength, balance tech with human connection
- Practical steps to turn leadership debt into leadership capital
If you’re serious about building a resilient, high-performing organization, this is the leadership lens you can’t afford to ignore.
