As leaders rise, their span of control widens—more people, more teams, more systems rely on their direction. But too often, leaders get caught in the weeds of daily tasks, operating as managers instead of visionaries. In this episode, we explore why “looking up” is one of the hardest yet most critical shifts leaders must make: stepping out of the busyness, broadening their perspective, and creating space to listen, plan, and inspire. Drawing on lessons from leadership thinkers like Simon Sinek, John Maxwell, and Garth Massey, we’ll uncover how to break free from tunnel vision, embrace the bigger picture, and guide your people toward a future worth building together.
