Episode notes

In this solo episode, Elizabeth Freedman breaks down a surprising pattern she sees in even the most capable senior leaders - a mismatch in terms of the value they may be giving and getting back. Using the “give and get” equation, Elizabeth shares how healthy, high-performing leaders and organizations strike a healthy balance between what they give and what they get . The problem is when the Give and Get Equation gets out of balance, and it happens more than you might think. In this podcast episode, you’ll learn: Why so many leaders struggle to give and get value equally How overgiving value can keep others underperforming Why overgiving value doesn’t guarantee visibility or recognition Ways to rebalance the equation and lead with more impact Stay tuned for a follow-up episode on the opposite trap: when leaders get more value than they give and how it affects trust, culture, and your leadership brand.
