Most leadership development focuses on what leaders do—better strategies, frameworks, execution.
But if problems start with how you see, then fixing what you do while seeing through distorted perception just creates more sophisticated dysfunction.
You’re not seeing reality. You’re seeing projections filtered through past experience and fear-based scenarios. The voice in your head says: “We’re not prepared. This could go badly. I need to prove myself.”
You build your entire leadership approach around defending against what that voice generates. But here’s what changes everything: You’re not the voice. You’re the awareness observing it.
The Shift
Leading as the voice:
→ Exhausting, reactive, defensive
Leading from awareness:
→ Clear, responsive, creative
The exhaustion isn’t from the pace of change. It’s from fighting projections you’re generating. The capacity you’re seeking is already here—it’s what you are when you’re not identified with the voice that says you don’t.
