A high-performance leader is one who is intentional about their leadership. They are not a leader because their position entitles them to be; they see leadership as a verb, a skill to continue to develop and hone. It is no different with leadership.

Most managers don’t realize the long-term effects of a major layoff. Leadership says it understands the impact — but they don’t. Lay yourselves off first — the entire leadership team. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares, and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event. I’m not a therapist.
