#283: Why Thoughtful Leaders stay in jobs for too long (and how not to)


Listen Later

Are you staying in a job that no longer supports you, just because you feel loyal to your team or unsure of your next step?

It’s a common challenge for thoughtful leaders. In this episode, I explore why we sometimes stay too long in roles that aren’t working, and how to start thinking clearly about whether it’s time to move on.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why staying to “protect” your team might actually hold everyone back
  • How toxic leadership can damage your self-esteem and confidence
  • Why trying to “fix” your boss or workplace can keep you stuck
  • How to start deciding whether to stay or go – in a clear, grounded way.
