Ep. 83 Why Serious Leaders Fail (And What to Do Instead)
Seriousness about destroyed me in 2nd grade. And unfortunately, it’s likely your path to failure as a full-grown adult human.
SO MANY messages about “professionalism” and “be serious.” It’s not shocking then that many leaders fall victim to the ideas that seriousness, discipline, and relentless productivity are the keys to success. But research — and real-world experience — prove otherwise. In this episode, Jenn Whitmer breaks down the hidden cost of “serious leadership” and why joy, play, and connection create stronger, more effective teams.
