[Solocast] Put Down the Mallet

You're across everything. The problems, the people, the pressure. And somehow, no matter how much you get through, there's always another thing popping up that needs your attention. Sound familiar?

In this episode, Digby explores what it actually means to have a leadership identity and why most leaders are defining theirs by accident, one reactive moment at a time. Drawing on William James's observation that the ability to bring back a wandering attention is the very root of judgement and character, he makes the case that where you direct your focus is not a time management question. It's an identity question.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why reactive leadership is like playing whack-a-mole and what it costs you over time
• The difference between solving problems and building the systems that make fewer problems inevitable
• How to define a leadership identity that guides your decisions before the pressure hits
• A practical exercise to help you name your purpose and start leading from it
• The one question that cuts through the noise: what do you need to build so your team can thrive without you?
