Why Survival Mode Makes Bad Leaders

You’ve been praised your whole life for being adaptable. For surviving chaos. For doing more with less. But here’s the truth: survival skills don’t scale. As leaders, the very instincts that kept us alive can destroy our ability to lead. In this episode, I break down the trap of over-adapting — through the lens of faith, trauma, and the workplace. I share how my upbringing gave me a PhD in survival, how it built my career, and how it nearly cost me in leadership — and most importantly, what I had to do to break free. If you’ve ever been told to ‘just make it work,’ this one is for you.#RareFrequency #TechCoachUnc #LeadershipUncut #FromSurvivalToStewardship #AuthenticLeadership #TraumaToTriumph #BlackVoicesInTech #FaithAndWork #AdaptiveLeadershipHosted on Ausha.
