In this episode, Lori and Beau discuss a common leadership struggle: feeling isolated at the top. This week’s letter from “False Feedback” explores the challenges of maintaining connections and getting honest feedback from a team as responsibilities grow. Lori and Beau delve into practical advice for overcoming isolation and creating environments that invite real input and foster connection.
Highlights:
Fight Isolation Intentionally: Isolation at the top can feel inevitable, but it doesn’t have to be. Leaders can actively fight it by intentionally connecting with their team and understanding their experiences.
Establish a Personal Board of Directors: Beau suggests creating a “personal board” to gain external, unbiased feedback—a fresh perspective from other respected leaders.
Ask the Right Questions: Encouraging candid team feedback isn’t easy. From one-on-one conversations to intentional, transparent discussions, leaders should avoid broad surveys and focus on meaningful questions that invite specific feedback.
