Strategy Series
The thing about being a leader—sometimes it feels pretty lonely. Heavy decisions and indecision can weigh on you. Who do you turn to when your baggage is starting to feel heavy?
We used to think that as you got more experience under your belt, "everything" would be easier. Not so. The stakes are higher, more people depend on you, and the little things that can vex you just... multiply. And as the lists of decisions unmade and tasks undone get longer, they turn into baggage. Big. bulky stuff that does not look stylish, we promise you. In this episode, we talk about what to do when you've got too much baggage to carry around on the daily. And we sip on a classic drink—the Sidecar. Watch out—it can sneak up on you!
