Episode notes

In this episode of Executiveland, Elizabeth Freedman returns with Part 2 of the “Give and Get” Equation. While overgetting can be strategic in moments of transition or investment, it becomes a problem when leaders stop seeing value as a constant exchange. Elizabeth explains how it quietly erodes trust and brand, and why leaders need to check their assumptions about what they’re contributing. She also walks through subtle, but telling signs of overgetting, like passivity in meetings, lack of team development, or operating with exceptions during company-wide changes. You’ll explore: Subtle signals your contribution may not match the value you’re receiving How language like “should” signals entitlement to others The importance of going first when you want more opportunity, trust, or respect A three-part check-in to realign your executive brand This is a candid look at how to strengthen your brand by making sure you’re giving as much as you get.
