Ep. 31 Longevity in Leadership

How do some leaders stay the course while others fall away? Leadership isn’t just about vision—it’s about longevity. Stick-to-it-iveness. That ability to keep going, even when the road gets rough, the work feels thankless, and the “greener pastures” come calling. This week on Mentored, we’re tackling the two sides of the longevity coin. Should leaders stay long enough to see real change, or does staying too long become counterproductive? What factors are causing a lack of longevity in leadership today? And how do calling, resilience, and holding out for the bigger picture all tie into the equation? We dig into the challenges of staying the course, share hard-hitting truths about why so many leave too soon, and reflect on the importance of being called to something bigger than yourself—even when the results might not show in your lifetime. If you’re a leader—young or seasoned—this episode asks the real questions: What’s keeping you grounded? What fuels your sense of calling? And are you giving yourself to something big enough? Tune in for wisdom, humour, and plenty of encouragement to keep running the race.
