External Validation and Identity Disruption

from CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel · host tentwentytwo / Culture Partners

In today's episode: We tend to outsource authority to leaders--so in times of crisis, we look for people to give us instructions and authority. If we don't get that external validation, we feel an identity disruption, attach shame to it, and abandon ourselves for approval. But those times of crisis might actually be a chance to reevaluate--findingmeaning within ourselves, rather than waiting for someone else to give it to us. CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel is a 5-minute daily podcast where business pragmatism meets inner wisdom.
