Ep.143 I Deciding to Conquer Leadership Anxiety: Am I ‘Infecting’ My Team? with Steve Cuss

52 minutes

Anxiety in leadership isn’t always biting your nails and fretting; it can be as simple as always needing the last word, asking too many questions, shifting the tone of a room, and passing blame. Steve Cuss shares how to break these cultural patterns within your business by tackling the roots of your spiritual wellness.

KEY TOPICS

Recognizing the impact your presence has when you walk into a room.

Asking your employees “What’s it like to experience me at my worst?”

Releasing your burdens to God, so others don’t have to carry them for you.

How it’s cheaper for your company for you to be well than

for you to be anxious.
