This is an important perspective. Leadership comes with opportunities, influence, and responsibility, but it also carries costs that are rarely talked about openly. The emotional load, difficult decisions, and constant balancing act are part of the role, whether we acknowledge them or not.

100%. I do wonder if it has to be that way, or are we just doing something terribly wrong?

Raechelle, absolutely agree. Leadership is a beautiful gift, but comes with added angst, stress and pressure. Organisations and executive teams need to do more to manage this.

Agree! We don’t often think about what leaders might need to support them, much less provide it.
