It often disguises itself as responsibility, commitment, or staying informed, but underneath it may be fear: fear of missing context, losing influence, not being represented, or becoming irrelevant.JOMO — the joy of missing out — offers a different way to lead. It is not about disengaging. It is about discernment. It is the freedom to know where your presence matters, where it does not, and where stepping back may actually create more ownership for others.JOMO is not checking out. It is choosing wisely.Sometimes the most powerful leadership move is not being in every room. It is knowing which rooms actually need you.
