When You're Leading and You're Not the Boss - Part 2

from The Leadership Break · host Paula Chapulis

Episode 12 | When You're Leading and You're Not the Boss - Part 2 Staying, Speaking, or Leaving With Integrity When leadership above you falls short, leaving can feel like relief. Sometimes it is the right choice. But what happens when leaders leave without ever claiming their voice? In this second episode of the series, Paula explores the deeper discernment leaders face when working under weak leadership—and how to choose a path forward without shrinking, disappearing, or abandoning self-trust. This episode isn't about staying longer than you should. It's about making conscious, courageous choices—whether that means staying, preparing, or leaving. In this episode, we explore: Why leaving can feel easier than risking your voice The difference between relief and resolution Three intentional paths forward: stay and influence, stay and prepare, or leave with integrity How leaders unintentionally feel smaller when choices are driven by avoidance What it means to reclaim agency—no matter what you decide This episode is for leaders ready to choose themselves without burning bridges or losing their sense of worth. * If this episode resonated, share it with someone who could use a little more support in their leadership.
