150 The Hidden Truth About Leadership Performance with Andrew Poles

What if everything you know about authentic leadership is wrong?In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with executive coach Andrew Poles, a 3x founder who's guided over 10,000 leaders worldwide. Discover why the "authentic you" who got you here won't get you there, how elite founders rehearse their leadership character like actors prep for Broadway, and the exact moments you need to perform confidence you don't feel. We'll explore the neuroscience of performative trust, the scripts that turn micromanagers into visionaries, and why treating leadership as theater might be the most authentic thing you ever do. If you're waiting to "feel like a leader" before acting like one, your team is already looking elsewhere.Keywords: leadership development, executive coaching, founder mindset, authentic leadership, performance psychology, team management, Andrew Poles
