  • Leadership Catch-22: Knowing When Not to Get the Last Word

    In this segment, I explore one of the fundamental catch-22s of leadership: accepting that sometimes you won’t get the last word. I share a personal story from my time as a principal, where I navigated the challenging dynamics of letting a staff member go and resisting the urge to respond to their public farewell email. This experience highlighted the importance of prioritizing the best interests of the company, culture, and reputation over personal ego. Tune in to learn why, as a leader, you must sometimes let others have the final say and how to avoid the distracting game of "Whack-a-Mole" with competing narratives.
