“𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻.”

That line from Tom in this LRR Chat really
stuck with me.

When leaders start operating at a new level (e.g. a new
role, a new organization, or a completely new arena),
the instinct is to build the perfect plan.

But over time many of us realize something
else matters even more.

The people around you.

The ones who challenge your thinking.
The ones who ask the uncomfortable questions.
The ones who help you see the story you tell yourself.

Because those shifts can be disorienting.

Even when you’re capable.
Even when you’ve done the work.
Even when you know where you’re trying to go.

And sometimes the difference between getting stuck
and moving forward is simply being in the right room.

That’s what Tom and I explore in this episode.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re navigating a leadership
transition a bit more alone than you’d like,
this conversation might resonate.
