Hold Tight, Let Go: Leadership That Knows the Difference

In this episode Maureen (Mo) explores the leadership tension between perseverance and release, teaching how discernment—not stubbornness or passivity—guides wise decisions about roles, relationships, systems, and versions of ourselves. Using lessons from industrial and organizational psychology and the LEAP model, she explains how to anchor to values, avoid sunk-cost and role-fusion traps, and adjust your grip so your leadership produces growth instead of burnout. Practical takeaways include spotting signals of holding too tightly, asking whether your grip produces growth or resistance, and steps for leading according to the season you’re actually in. This episode reframes letting go as a faithful, courageous leadership move and offers resources to help you assess alignment and next steps.
