In this special episode, Lori and Beau dive into the core concept of self-awareness and why it's important for effective leadership. 
 
Instead of responding to a listener's letter, they explore how self-awareness can shape a leader's journey, examining common misconceptions, the role of humility, and how to practically build self-awareness.
 
You’ll learn to:
 
Distinguish Between Development and Advancement: Understanding the difference can sharpen your goals and guide you to ask the right questions.
Use Humility to Build Self-Awareness: Embrace feedback from those you admire and practice humility to see yourself clearly.
Define Your Goals Realistically: Lori and Beau discuss the value of self-awareness in adjusting your career path based on honest self-evaluation and opportunities.

In this episode, Lori and Beau discuss a common leadership struggle: feeling isolated at the top. This week’s letter from “False Feedback” explores the challenges of maintaining connections and getting honest feedback from a team as responsibilities grow. Lori and Beau delve into practical advice for overcoming isolation and creating environments that invite real input and foster connection.
Highlights:
Fight Isolation Intentionally: Isolation at the top can feel inevitable, but it doesn’t have to be. Leaders can actively fight it by intentionally connecting with their team and understanding their experiences.
Establish a Personal Board of Directors: Beau suggests creating a “personal board” to gain external, unbiased feedback—a fresh perspective from other respected leaders.
Ask the Right Questions: Encouraging candid team feedback isn’t easy. From one-on-one conversations to intentional, transparent discussions, leaders should avoid broad surveys and focus on meaningful questions that invite specific feedback.
