In this episode, June Chambliss reminds listeners that leaders need support that is not tied to what they do for others. Leaders carry a heavy load in business and personal realms, which often depletes them. In leadership development, there is a tendency to focus squarely on what leaders should be doing better. June, however, brings us under the umbrella of compassion - helping listeners to take accountability for protecting the mental health of the leaders that they follow. Key focus areas explored: Research omits helpful studies on how leaders need support Leaders are supported to the degree that they satisfy their followers, which is draining The loneliness that leaders can feel in their plight Tactical actions that can be taken to support leaders better June encourages listeners to take the time to figure out how they can better support their leaders throughout the calendar year. She gives honor to all leaders who are doing the "work of leader" with little accolades, motivating them to stay encouraged.
