Dysregulated Leaders, Broken Teams: New Criteria for Sustainable Leadership with Aram Cargill

Are we leading from conscious choice, or from stress, ego, and conditioning? Who are we beneath the roles and personas we construct to function in society? What if the biggest problem in leadership isn’t strategy, but self-regulation?In this episode, Aram Cargill unpacks with Sonja and Jamie a systems-based view of leadership rooted in neuroscience, physiology, and human behavior. Aram challenges common ideas around authenticity, arguing that leadership isn’t about self-expression, it’s about self-regulation, humility, and the ability to hold pressure without passing it on.The conversation explores how being present in our body through stress relief, sleep, breath, and even food rituals shape our capacity to lead, why our digital environment is eroding our ability to relate to others, and what it means to build sustainable leadership in a rapidly changing world.
