Episode notes
Leadership gets harder at senior levels not because the role gets worse, but because the weight accumulates without a system for what to put down. Experience increases visibility and stakes but does not reduce the load. What changes it is understanding your own wiring — how you define responsibility, what you carry out of habit, and what was never yours to carry in the first place. You have earned this seat. You know how to lead. And still, the weight of it follows you home. Not because something is wrong. Because no one told you to put any of it down. This is the final episode of the Leadership Myths series. Tami saved this one for last. Because this is the one every leader she has worked with has been carrying, and almost no one wants to say it out loud.
