487 :: Why Working Harder Is Crippling Your Leadership: The Whiteout Paradox Explained


Listen Later

Have you ever felt that the daily chaos of running your business has blinded you to the bigger picture? Are you watching other leaders struggle to extract themselves from working IN the business, instead of ON it?

In this deeply personal and practical episode, Bradley Hartmann reveals the hidden leadership cost of being stuck in "whiteout conditions"—when the constant fires, deadlines, and endless demands cloud your vision.

Whether you're an executive dealing with growth, silos, or burnout, this episode sheds light on a simple but powerful truth: the busier you are, the more critical it is to zoom out.

In this episode, you will:

  • Learn how stepping back—even briefly—can bring the clarity needed to make better decisions.
  • Discover the key difference between working in the business versus on the business, and why that matters more as your company grows.
  • Hear the powerful story of how one spontaneous trip changed the trajectory of a young man's future—and what it teaches us about leadership, generosity, and focus.

Hit play now to uncover how pulling yourself out of the daily storm can unlock clarity, creativity, and long-term success for your business.

This episode is brought to you by The Simple Sales Pipeline® —the most efficient way to organize and value any construction sales rep's roster of customers and prospects in under 30 minutes once every 30 days.
