When Your Executive Has Internalized Chaos

11 minutes

Do you ever take on your executive’s chaos as your responsibility to fix?

In this episode of the Whole Assistant Podcast, I talk honestly about what it’s like to work for an executive who seems to thrive in chaos. I break down why some leaders operate this way, why it’s not on you to fix it, and how you can stop blaming yourself when things feel out of control. If you feel stuck or frustrated in a hectic workplace, this episode will help you feel seen, and give you ideas on how to move forward.

In this episode, you will discover:

Why some executives are drawn to chaos and why it feels normal for them.

How to stop taking chaotic situations personally or thinking it’s all your fault.

Tips for staying professional and calm, even when things around you aren’t.

How to decide if a chaotic work environment is something you want to stick with, and how to make that decision with confidence.
