When Doing More Is Doing Damage: The Hidden Cost To Push Harder


Listen Later

Maureen (Mo) explores how high-capacity leaders often default to doing more under pressure, which can mask misalignment and lead to quiet burnout. She introduces the LEAP model (Lead, Empower, Align, Persevere) and distinguishes effort, capacity, and sustainability.

Practical guidance includes pausing before adding effort, sharing burdens, redesigning systems, and choosing alignment over mere endurance. Exhaustion is presented as data, not failure, and rest is reframed as strategic recalibration.

The episode invites leaders to recalibrate for long-term impact and to lead from wisdom rather than willpower.
