Lunch with Chris: Why Smart Leaders Keep Investing in Dumb Theater

from SightShift with Chris McAlister · host Chris McAlister

Why do smart leaders keep investing in retreats, team-building, and leadership development that doesn't actually change anything? In the very first Lunch with Chris, I tell the story of walking into a conference room 24 years ago and watching a leader create one of the most awkward moments I've ever experienced. Then I break down why it happens and what separates real leadership from performative theater.
