Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- What I love is taking a vague idea and grinding it into something done and shipped
- Everything still flows through me
- I stand up and tell my team what we value, but I’ve started to wonder whether my own choices actually match the words
- I’ve been pouring energy into vision and inspiration and it’s landing as hollow
- I’m supposed to rally my team behind a directive I don’t actually understand or believe in myself, and they can feel the hollowness in how I deliver it
