The Leader You’re Becoming

The Difference Between Busy Leaders and Effective Leaders


Listen Later

Most leaders feel busy — but not effective.
 And there’s a reason: what looks productive at the surface level often isn’t the work that actually moves a team or company forward.

In this episode, we break down the difference between performative productivity (full calendars, fast responses, constant doing) and true leadership productivity — the kind that creates clarity, momentum, and leverage.

You’ll learn:

  • Why busyness drains your leadership impact
  • The high-leverage work leaders should spend most of their time on
  • What clarity actually saves you (and your team)
  • How to stop doing everything yourself and build capability instead
  • The subtle habits that make leaders feel productive but stall their effectiveness

If you’ve been feeling stretched, reactive, or overloaded, this episode will help you reset your definition of productivity — and align your time with the work that actually matters.
