Is it time to replace your leader—or are you just uncomfortable with disruption?

In Episode 43 of the Leader Fuel Podcast, Dr. Linda Travelute explores the danger of prematurely replacing a proven leader. Drawing from real-world examples—Apple’s Tim Cook, Goldman Sachs’ David Solomon, and Abraham Lincoln—this episode reveals how strategic patience and hiring for your weaknesses can be more powerful than chasing shiny new leadership.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why novelty bias leads to costly leadership decisions

  • How to evaluate a leader's readiness to adapt

  • What the "Recalibration Scorecard" can reveal about your own leadership

  • The psychological traps that sabotage succession planning

  • How to support vs. replace leaders under pressure
