008: The Courage to Move First: What Real Leadership Looks Like When Everyone Else Is Playing Chicken
Ever find yourself surrounded by people digging in their heels, waiting for someone else to blink first?
When the stakes are high and everyone’s waiting for someone else to move, courageous leaders know — waiting isn’t leading.
In this episode, we explore what it takes to lead through gridlock, rebuild trust, and create forward motion when progress feels impossible.
You’ll learn how to:
✅ Recognize and navigate a leadership “quagmire”
✅ Refocus your team on the mission and shared values
✅ Turn conflict into dialogue, not debate
✅ Lead with empathy, clarity, and conviction — even when the path is muddy
If you’re tired of watching leaders play chicken with progress, this episode is your reminder:
Real leadership isn’t about holding your ground.
It’s about having the courage to move first. 💪
