Knowing When to Walk Away: A Leadership Dilemma

🚨 When Leadership Means Walking Away 🚨
Leadership isn’t about stubbornly sticking around. It’s about knowing when to cut ties and make space for growth. Ever felt drained after a meeting or a conversation? It's time to ask: “Why do I do this?” If your energy isn’t being reciprocated, it’s time to walk away.

This week in Leadership In Focus, we dive deep into the leadership dilemma of when to step back and refocus your energy. The key? It's all about personal alignment, not external validation.

🔑 Big Idea: True leadership comes from knowing when to let go—and when to stay true to your values.
