In this episode, Jason Schroeder challenges the common misconception that higher leadership roles should involve doing less and distancing oneself from the work. He explains that true leadership is about doing more serving others, staying involved, and supporting the team. Jason uses the analogy of a mountain climber who, after reaching the top, must send the rope back down to help others reach the summit, instead of abandoning them. He makes the case that as a leader, your responsibility is to help more people, provide more guidance, and keep the vision alive, not retreat to a corner office and reduce your involvement.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why higher leadership roles require more, not less, involvement in the work.
• The danger of distancing yourself from the team once you've "made it".
• How leadership should be about helping others achieve their goals, not just enjoying perks.
• The role of leaders in creating an ESOP, driving progress, and providing ongoing training.
• Why true leaders send the rope back down after reaching the top, helping others climb with them.

As a leader, when you reach the top, do you send the rope down to help others, or do you retreat and work less?
