Listen Later

Is your leadership style too heavy to carry—and unknowingly fueling burnout?

In this Polarity Spotlight episode, we explore the hidden tension between seriousness and playfulness in leadership. As responsibilities grow, many leaders default to structure, control, and pressure—missing the creativity and connection that lightness brings. This episode breaks down how balancing these two forces is essential not just for performance, but for sustainable well-being and authentic leadership identity.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Discover how integrating playfulness strengthens resilience, innovation, and team morale.
  • Learn the hidden risks of “over-serious” leadership—and how it directly contributes to burnout.
  • Get practical reflection questions and actions to bring more energy and balance into your leadership right now.
